Judge blocks publication of Salinger spinoff book
NEW YORK — A federal judge has ruled that a Swedish author cannot publish in the United States a book he wrote that was advertised as a sequel to J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher In The Rye.”
Judge Deborah Batts issued her ruling Wednesday after hearing arguments in a lawsuit brought by the 90-year-old Salinger against the publishers of “60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye.”
The book was scheduled to be published in the United States this summer. The Manhattan judge heard arguments last month.

I think that’s horrible they blocked the publishing of the book. Let the people read it and decide for themselves. Typical judge nazis. They always resort to using censorship to silence difference of opinions. |
