Five new Salinger books to be released by 2020.

[Rev. Rye]

As you might have guessed by my username, J.D. Salinger is one of my favourite authors. In fact, I've said something along the line of this to several fellow Fiction Writing students in school: "Read The Catcher in the Rye because nobody but Salinger can understand your tortured teenage soul. Read 9 Stories because you need to know how story-writing works. Read Franny and Zooey because you're starting to feel spiritual yearnings and you hear it's even better than Catcher. And read Raise High the Roof-Beam, Carpenters, because, well, you've read the other three books."

In fact, it looks like, sometime in the next few years, I may have to change this, because of news from the Salinger camp:

You see, Shane Salerno and David Shields have been working on a biography of Salinger (both in documentary and book form) and it's finally being released. It's being touted as being the definitive biography, but news from outside says it's... questionable to say the least.

But they've revealed something amazing in the past few days. You see, Salinger hasn't published anything in almost 50 years. And that's especially surprising given that he's been alive for 45 of them. But, now, starting in 2015, it looks like five books will be released. Here's what I've been able to gather about them:

1) "The Family Glass"- A collection of all the existing Glass Family stories with five extra, unpublished stories.
2) "The Last and Best of the Peter Pans"- a short story written in 1942, originally due to be published by "Story," but pulled by Salinger for some reason, which has been retooled, and may be published along with other stories revolving around the Caulfield family, perhaps even including "Catcher in the Rye."
3) "A Counterintelligence Agent’s Diary" - a novella about his time interrogating prisoners of war when he served working in the counter-intelligence division, culminating in the Holocaust, which apparently led to him developing PTSD.
4) An untitled World War II Love Story - a novel based on his brief marriage to Sylvia Welter, who he would leave after finding out she worked with the Gestapo.
5) An untitled religious manual talking about his past with Advaita Vedanta Hinduism, the religion that seemed to stick with the most with the Church-hopping Salinger, and it may even include several short stories in its pages.

Any thoughts?
