And now we know that "60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye" will be available to be legally sold in the US in 2081.
There's something ... very wrong with copyright law. |

My grandson will be 75 in 2081... the good news is he will be able to read Catcher on his future iPad because his grandpa downloaded them....

I understand that while Salinger hadn't been publishing, he had been writing. My guess is that within a year or so some new Salinger works will start appearing in print.

Last night's Newsnight discussion about him was quite amusing ('rumpus room in the woods'...). The consensus was - don't hold out hopes for anything readable.
