Times: New Film and Book Claim Five New J.D. Salinger Books to Be Published Starting in 2015
The Times is reporting that a new film and companion book (Salinger by David Shields and Shane Salerno) "include detailed assertions that Mr. Salinger instructed his estate to publish at least five additional books — some of them entirely new, some extending past work — in a sequence that he intended to begin as early as 2015." One of the books is said to include a retooled version of Salinger's unpublished (but available at the Princeton library) story "The Last and Best of the Peter Pans." Kristopher Jansma (The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards) wrote about the story for us in 2011. Bonus Link: Garth Risk Hallberg on Salinger's legacy.

We just found out that our actual book-making machines will be in Manhattan and operating at the Saturday, April 21, five-course, sit-down dinner cooked by Ben Walmer of the Highlands Dinner Club. It’s going to be epic and messy, hot glue and sharp knives all around. It’s a small, long table, 50 seats, so get there now http://publicationstudio.biz/events/spring_launch_2012
