Never-before-seen writing by The Catcher in the Rye author J.D. Salinger will be shared with the public in the future, his son told a British newspaper.
Described as a “massive collection” by Matt Salinger in an interview with The Guardian, the works will be released at some future date to be determined.
“This was somebody who was writing for 50 years without publishing, so that’s a lot of material,” Matt Salinger said. Most of the content was kept out of the public eye because of Salinger’s particular quirks.
J.D. Salinger published very little in his lifetime. Overwhelmed by the public attention after the success of his novel The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger became reclusive. His last published work was a novella that appeared in The New Yorker in 1965, and his last public interview was in 1980. He engaged in several legal battles with those chronicling his life, including his biographer Ian Hamilton,...

This is a column about speculation, spoilers, rumors, hearsay and analyzing the Star Wars Universe. Spoilers, real or imagined, might be found within.
We’ve transitioned out of the period where Rogue One is shooting and into the period where Star Wars: Episode VIII has begun. And, in a cryptic fiscal statement from Dinsey, Bob Iger says that Star Wars: Episode IX has started production as well.
When talking about Rogue One, Iger said "This is the first of a set of planned stand-alone stories...we're already in preproduction on our next one, for release in May of 2018." Which, of course, is Han Solo: A Star Wars Story. Or whatever You’Re calling it, that’s what I’m calling it. The whole “A Star Wars Story” thing is still very silly. It’s a very silly way to work around taking the episode title out of the saga stories.

Sneak Peek more footage from The Weinstein Company documentary production of director Shane Salerno’s "Salinger", that "...contains an unprecedented amount of unseen footage, photographs and biographical information on the 'notoriously' reclusive 'Catcher in the Rye' author..."
The trailer opens with a photographer apparently stalking the late author outside a post office, waiting in his car for a 'good shot' with a long telephoto lens mounted on a camera, hoping to "get" the reclusive author, who valued his privacy above all other concerns and requested others to respect that as well.
Neverthless, the TWC release quotes Jonathan Karp, President and Publisher at Simon & Schuster (who will release a companion book "The Private War Of J.D. Salinger", written by Salerno and David Shields, September 3, 2013) demanding respect from anyone who has seen an advance screening of the film, or read the book, stating, "There are two kinds of people in the world – blabbermouths and confidants.

Biographers say they have uncovered the secret of what Salinger was working on in his long years as a literary recluse
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.
Providing by far the most detailed report of previously unreleased material, the book's authors cite "two independent and separate sources" who they say have "documented and verified" the information.
The Salinger books would revisit Catcher protagonist Holden Caulfield and draw on Salinger's World War II years and his immersion in eastern religion.

According to THR, Karen Walton has been hired to shape Ian Hamilton‘s Ava Lee crime novel series for the big screen. Dubbed “the next The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” The Water Rat of Wanchai is the first novel in a series that could ultimately become a franchise.
Wanchai, also Hamilton‘s debut novel, follows a “fictional Chinese-Canadian forensic accountant character who uses unorthodox methods to recover multi-million debts for her clients.” I do see the connection to Dragon Tattoo, though I’m not too convinced this project will hold out as well. But you never know.
Here’s the official, lengthy synopsis for the book courtesy of Amazon:
Ava Lee is a young Chinese-Canadian forensic accountant who specializes in recovering massive debts. Ava works for an elderly Hong Kong–based “Uncle,” who may or may not have ties to the Triads. At 5’3″ and 115 lbs., she hardly seems a threat.
