There has been a lot of talk lately about a supposed "sequel" to Salinger's most famous work, Catcher in the Rye. Here's one take from Slate Magazine's Juliet Lapidos, which is actually laugh-out-loud funny because its not that she agrees with Salinger, but that this sequel is supposedly so badly written.
Having just finished reading Catcher a few weeks ago (I know - shocking!) I can't say as I'm that overwhelmed by the controversy, but its an interesting story just from the vantage point of authorial control vs. readers' demands for closure and/or some sort of say in what happens to a character.
