Catcher In The Rye Sequel
6 Answers
Has anybody read the follow up book? Any good? I doubt if it would ever match the original, but as it has remained with me for around 40 years, I'm curious!

I thought I heard on the news they banned it from being published

I haven't read it but I'll still say I'd be surprised if it's any good. Incidentally, the author and the publisher are one and the same - go figure;-) He is not exactly known for publishing timeless literature. Seen him on the telly over here and my impression is he's trying to draw attention to the rest of his shall we say products.

Apologies to VHG, it was already apparent from your article that the author and the publisher are the same person.
sunopaleface I'm really just guessing. Sequels written by other people can be fantastic. There's a Swedish classic called Doctor Glas (btw glas means glass) by Hjalmar S�derberg. It was published in 1905. Almost exactly 100 years later Swedish author Bengt Ohlsson's sequel Gregorius was published and it's a future classic too, I am sure. Ohlsson tells the story from "the opponent's" point of view and reading it you feel as if something has been laid to rest a century later. They are both marvellous books <3 Both of them tragic, both of them pageturners in their own, brooding way :)
...so sequels can be OK!
