"Secret" J. D. Salinger documentary 5 years in the making

Good choice!

 

And I think he'd be willing...

 

Not on the movie, but an interesting piece on Salinger in the war:

A little more Salinger to mull over...

I'm still not a fan of Hapworth, and not in a "It's not Catcher in the Rye" way; I love Nine Stories and Raise High almost as much as Catcher. It's just that somewhere along the way Salinger began to express his sizable ego (a Vedanta no-no) vicariously through Seymour Glass. (I understand there are different interpretations for who Seymour is supposed to represent.) The Seymour hero-worship is a major turn-off for me in Salinger's writings, and I hope it doesn't continue in his (possibly) yet-to-be-published works.

 

I still can't see Captain America allowing anything new to be - officially - published, unfortunately

 

Between him and Salinger's also highly-protective widow, I'm afraid that could be the case. There's been essentially no follow-up to, or confirmation of, Salerno's publication claims since the release of this book/documentary.

 

Some uncollected Salinger stories have been published. Better get them while you can...

Could be the opening of the floodgates, but more likely, it'll be the opening of litigation.

My copy's on the way (I hope...)

 

Here's a review of a recent Salinger biography by Thomas Beller - and an interview with the author:

Thanks. I didn't know this existed until now!

So much for John Gordon Levitt:

Rebel in the Rye, indeed: http://fridaynightboys300.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/rebel-in-rye-j-d-salinger-biopic-on-way.html

Not a big Hoult fan.

 

Not to worry, I'm sure there's still time for things to go pear-shaped and for Hoult to fall out.

 

I hate to be negative, but...
