Salinger Sequel Nixed in the U.S.

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Rumors, Where Are They Now?

The Swedish author who penned a sequel to J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye received a court ruling Wednesday that prevents him from publishing the book Stateside. The court judged that the book mirrors Salinger’s far too closely.

The novel, 60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye, according to the judge, has “taken well more from ‘Catcher,’ in both substance and style, than is necessary.”

Originally, the book was scheduled for a late summer U.S. publishing schedule. It’s already been published in England, where no legal action against the tome has been taken.
