<< I remain quite unconvinced that Salinger will publish Hapworth, or any
other work he has, while is still among the living. After 33 years of not
publishing, why start now? >>
I to, like, well, probably every person reading this has heard of the safe
locking up an unknown amount of Salingers work....and no doubt numerous
stories about the Glass family (my personal favorites) The problem I see, the
thing that concerns me a lot, is that I don't think any of these will be
released for anyone to see, even family, let alone published even after Mr.
Salinger's death. He probably has an order to destroy them after he's gone.
I really hope not, and I have mixed emotions on the topic. I feel that I'm
being greedy wanting him to share his works with us, me...I mean he does
deserve his right to privace etc. I don't know.
