Reclusive author J.D. Salinger filed suit this week to stop publication of an anonymous author’s sequel to The Catcher in the Rye, which resumes Holden Caulfield’s story 60 years later, after he’s escaped from a nursing home. Salinger’s lawyers called the book “a rip-off, pure and simple,” and seek the destruction of any copies already printed. Salinger, 90, lives in seclusion in New Hampshire.
