I do think a sequel to Catcher in the Rye is an idiotic idea; you’d think, if anything, that novel begs for a PRE-quel…

Glad to see that Salinger’s lawyers are on it. I don’t know. To me there seems to be something wrong in messing with another’s work. Just doesn’t seem right.

Thanks for the morning laugh George. Still not sure if it’s:
(a)an ‘I’m doomed’ groan because I am way, way past 21 and still waiting for my literary payday;
(b) a ‘WTF who gives a 21-year-old that much money’ twitter of surprise;
(c) a ‘Oh god you are sooooooo young – essays on genocide AND the larger meaning of Obama’, weary chuckle of a newsroom vet; or
(d) a ‘Ha! You’re doomed kid!’ guffaw of a lifer.
