Only 70 more years until Catcher in the Rye hits public domain!

That's a coincidence - I am just finishing reading a copy of CITR now.

71 years, actually, give or take. Works enter the public domain at the start of the year following the 70th anniversary of the author's death. Since Mr. Salinger has died in January, that adds almost another year to the wait.

I'm just really bummed that the man died, is all. I was holding on to some faint glimmer of hope that eventually he'd decide to publish his unpublished works. I wouldn't want to read them if they were published by his estate against his wishes. I assume that he's had it in his will not to publish them, but I don't know if the estate can decide otherwise...

Well, since he didn't publish anything after Catcher, we can't say its a loss for the arts. But Catcher is such a wonderful book, that it actually makes me a little sad anyhow.

Not so much of a fan of Salinger, although I do think his other writing outside of Catcher was much better. But historian Howard Zinn passed away as well, and he was a personal hero of mine.

“There is no flag large enough to cover the shame of killing innocent people.” Howard Zinn

Some of us only need to wait 50 years. (Well, closer to 51 years). I'll post a review on Jan 1, 2061.

Not entirely true. He published a number of short stories subsequent to "Catcher", but the last thing he did publish was in the mid 60s, I believe.

Well, why should he? After such a bestseller the current laws reward living longer much more than writing anything that might not sell that well. He needed to keep away from stress to make more money

Actually, at the risk of sounding callous, him being dead increases the chances of anything new from him being published.
In life he sure as hell wasn't going to let anything new be published. (We're talking about a timeframe of decades of self-imposed seclusion here.)
