From Image Journal’s Good Letters blog: Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?
So it’s no surprise that Salinger’s lawyers are now going after 60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye, a book written by a pseudonymous Swedish author J.D. California, which is billed as a “sequel” to Catcher in the Rye. Details are sketchy (the book is supposed to have been published already in England, though I can’t seem to find a review written by anyone who has actually read the thing), but the story seems have two main characters-“Mr. C,” who is obviously Holden Caulfield, and Salinger himself. In the new book, Mr. C is 76 years old and seemingly as peripatetic and confused as Holden was at 15.
