I was very happy to read that a judge ruled against the author/ripper off of Catcher 1n the Ry3. It seems to me the height of chutzpah to steal a living author’s character and write a book about him, against the author’s wishes.
I had to laugh at the author’s expressed concern that they are “banning” his book. You’re a thief, that’s why. I honestly have no attachment to Catcher and thought the recent article in the Times in which a teen thought that H0lden should “take his Prozac” was hilarious. I do like to think that someone’s creation should remain theirs until they die. Silly me.

I completely agree on all points but it does make me happy when people cause trouble for Salinger because he is usually forced to confirm his continued, cranky-hermit existence. I love him.
