So it's 2017. Where are the unpublished JD Salinger works?

A stream of fiction and stories written by reclusive author J.D. Salinger will be published between 2015 and 2020, according to a new biography about the writer of The Catcher in the Rye, who died in 2010. Some of the books will reportedly revisit beloved Salinger characters such as Holden Caulfield.

That was four years ago. What is the holdup?

1. "Beloved" Salinger characters?

Holden Caulfield was an annoying git who needed his ass kicked. How could anyone like him?

2. It's split about down the middle

Holden's insufferable versus the book got them through their teens.

I doubt todays teens relate to it well at all. It does capture the notion of the poorly thought-through teen scheme well.

3. Annoying, perhaps

But for a lot of young fellows growing up, it was the first time we'd ever encountered a character who was as fed up as we were with some aspects of life. It was like a missive from the other side of the age divide that said, "Yeah, we see it, too."

4. I remember that! Still looking forward to it.

I hope there's another Glass family story.

5. That's been the rumor

I'm supposing there is either legal bickering or debate over how to edit the work.
