It’s a rebellious move that perhaps Holden Caulfield would have admired, but it can only be assumed to make J.D. Salinger writhe in his grave. The fiercely private author, who passed away in 2010, left several completed unpublished works with his estate, according to a post by Ian Hull on Hull & Hull’s Estate Law Blog.
Salinger chose not to publish the works during his lifetime because he loathed media attention. “Ironically, it appears that these last wishes may have led to a media storm that some say rival even his highest levels of success in life,” says Hull. The works were leaked online, even though they weren’t supposed to be released until several years after Salinger’s death, causing a frenzy of attention.
