60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye
(September 15, 2009 release)
Did I ever tell you about the catcher in the rye? I m in a
field. It s a gray day and only the very tips of the grasses move from
side to side with the wind. It s like the ground is breathing. Nothing
else is here but me and the field and I m standing right in the beginning
of it. Only when I begin to run do I know that s what I m supposed to do.
The rye is shoulder high and it parts to let me through. Loose pods fall
off their stems and stick to my pants and arms, but I don t stop running.
There s only the sky and the rye. Up there the sky, and to either side the
golden brown rye. On a seemingly normal day Mr. C wakes up in a nursing
home with an unnerving compulsion to flee his present situation. He boards
a bus and embarks on a curious journey through the streets of New York.
Sixty years after his debut as the great American antihero, Mr.C is yanked
back onto the page without a goddamn clue why. 60 Years Later is an
astonishing debut and a marvelous sequel to one of our most beloved
classics.
Courthouse News Service reported Tuesday, June 2,
2009, that J.D. Salinger is suing an
anonymous writer, pseudonym J.D. California,
over a book entitled "60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye," which
is slated for September publication and bills itself as a sequel to
the reclusive Salinger's classic "The Catcher in the Rye." |
