Salinger “Sequel” Back in Court
A three-judge appeals panel today heard arguments from Fredrik “JD California” Colting’s legal team that Judge Deborah Batts acted in haste this past July in issuing a restraining order against publication of the so-called sequel to JD Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye.
While there was no immediate ruling issued in today’s proceedings, there was one verdict, of sorts:
Judge Guido Calabresi was sure of one thing though — his opinion of the novel by Swedish author Fredrik Colting. He gave an instant review of the book that’s already published in England, referencing it as “this rather dismal piece of work if I may say so.”
