JD Salinger?...............?

Will there be any posthumous work released after JD Salinger's death?

And if there is, will it be good or even relevant to the modern world?

    Possibly. According to a friend, JD still writes every single day and has volumes of material in his home.

    I think it would probably be against Mr. Salinger's wishes to have any of his work published posthumously though. He grew to hate the attention, and the critiques of his work, and now enjoys just writing for himself. He feels no need to share it with the public.

    Who knows though? I'm a big fan, and I'd love to see more of his work.

    I'm sure he has some stuff about the Glass family stocked up somewhere. You can already find Hapworth 16, 1924 if you look online. Was it ever relevant to the modern world? I'm curious how it could be viewed as relevant.
