Salinger’s “lost” last book

Book publisher Roger Lathbury had a deal in place to publish what would have been J.D. Salinger’s last book. But then, he talked.

Around this time, I unwittingly made the first move that would unravel the whole deal. I applied for Library of Congress Cataloging in Publication data.

The entire text of the book is available in this back issue of the New Yorker (full text for subscribers only).
