JD Salinger: Zombie Author

Well, not really — but close.

The authors of a new JD Salinger biography claim they have cracked one of publishing’s greatest mysteries: what the author of The Catcher in the Rye was working on during the last half century of his life.

A series of posthumous Salinger releases are planned after 2015, according to David Shields and Shane Salerno, whose book Salinger will be published on 3 September. The Associated Press obtained an early copy. Salerno’s documentary on the author is scheduled to come out 6 September.

Just like high school, I look forward to reading the Cliffs Notes.
