J.D. Salinger's “The Catcher in the Rye”
is a landmark novel. Many researchers have tried to put their eyes
through the legendary author's life and works. His biographers—David
Shields and Shane Salerno—were one of them. But the biographers
have now claimed that the dead author's five unpublished novels might
hit the stands between 2015 and 2020. It would be a series of
posthumous Salinger releases.
The biographers boast to provide by far the
most detailed report of previously unpublished material. According to
the Associated Press, one of the Salinger books would center on
'Catcher' protagonist Holden Caulfield and his family, including a
revised version of an early, unpublished story “The Last and Best
of the Peter Pans.” His another book is expected to draw attention
to Salinger's World War II years and his immersion in Eastern
religion.
It further mentions that a publication called 'The Family Glass'
would feature additional stories about the Glass family of “Franny
and Zooey” and other Salinger works.
It also says that since the early 1960s no Salinger book came out,
as the author increasingly withdrew from public life. His recluse
gave way to rumors and speculations Friends, neighbors and family
members continued saying that Salinger was writing in his final
years. Even in 1974, the author told The New York Times that he wrote
daily but only for himself.
