1997--Year of Woodwork

[Bruce Appelbaum]

     Sounds to me like this is just a retread of a 30 year old story.

They're all coming out of the woodwork:
     
WASHINGTON, Jan 17 (Reuter) - Reclusive author J. D. Salinger next month 
will publish his first
new book in 34 years, the Washington Post reported Friday. 
     
"Hapworth 16, 1924" will be issued by Orchises Press, a small press in 
Alexandria, Va. run by
George Mason University English professor Roger Lathbury, the newspaper 
said. 
     
Salinger's agent, Phyllis Westberg, confirmed the deal but would answer 
no other questions,
according to the report. The publisher also refused to discuss any 
details, including how many
copies were being printed. He did say no copies would be sent to 
reviewers. 
     
Between 1951 and 1963 Salinger, who is 78, published four books -- 
"Catcher in the Rye," "Nine
Stories," "Franny and Zooey," and "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters." 
     
     
The new book, which first appeared in the New Yorker magazine in 1965, 
should be on sale by
early March, the Post said.
