New Salinger?

[Jerky]

 From the New York Post...

DID reclusive "Catcher in the Rye" author J.D. Salinger just sneakily 
publish his first piece of writing since 1965? Thursday's Times carried a 
five-line paid death notice for Salinger's sister, Doris. It stated that 
Doris J. Salinger, who died on Tuesday, was the daughter of the late Marie 
and Sol Salinger, sister of Jerome [J.D.] Salinger, and grand aunt of 
Avery, Maxwell and Gannon Salinger. What suggests J.D. Salinger himself 
penned the obit is that Doris' niece and nephew - J.D.'s estranged daughter 
Peggy and son Matt - are not mentioned. Salinger, 82, doesn't speak to 
Peggy, who penned "Dream Catcher" last year, a tell-all tome that described 
her father as a manic-depressive, bulimic, misogynist who drank his own 
urine and neglected his kids. Matt, a producer of amateur theatricals, 
keeps his parentage under wraps. A rep for the Times would say only, "We 
don't disclose who the individual is who submits a classified ad with us." 
Salinger's rep had no comment.
