Salinger taking action over ‘follow up’ book to novel
The 90-year-old, who is as protective of his work as he is of his privacy, is seeking an injunction against the writer, publishers and distributor of a spin-off of the author’s famous novel.
Lawyers for Salinger filed the lawsuit in Manhattan, seeking to stop publication of what it says is a copycat book titled 60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye, by a man writing under the name John David California. It also seeks unspecified damages.
