RIP JD Salinger
The famous recluse and author of The Catcher in the Rye has passed away. Apparently he continued to write for decades without publishing anything after withdrawing from public life, placing his manuscripts in a vault. I wonder if the estate will let anything see the light of day.

I'd love to read the unpublished stuff...if The Catcher In The Rye is anything to go by...

RIP. It will be interesting to see if anything else is released. Who would own the rights? His children?
Bring back Bond!

I think his kids own the rights(though I'm not 100% sure of that).carl stromberg wrote:RIP. It will be interesting to see if anything else is released. Who would own the rights? His children?
In our local paper they were talking to local high school teachers about Salinger's death( Catcher is mandatory reading in 10th grade), and one of them found out that Salinger had died from her students, who were very sad. Apparently, Holden Caulfield strikes a chord with a *lot* of kids.

The Onion wrote:Besides setting the literary community abuzz, Salinger's decision to come out of seclusion has allowed scholars access to his massive archive of unpublished work for the first time. So far, critics have examined three never-before-seen novels, eight novellas, and more than two dozen short stories—all of which appear to be Terminator fan fiction.
"But make no mistake," said Salinger expert Professor Duane Hartworth of nearby Dartmouth College, "this is without a doubt the most personal and affecting body of Terminator fan fiction ever discovered."

I never did read The Catcher in the Rye, it was on a school reading list then but we moved and I never had to read it

Re: RIP JD Salinger
The Catcher in the Rye is absolutely fantastic and the short stories are wonderful too. I think you have to be a bit maladjusted to get JD Salinger but he's probably my favourite author.
