JD Salinger
If a book, manuscript, or short story written by J.D. Salinger is published there will be a large amount of speculation. If he wanted them to be published why didn't he get them published while he was alive? Another theory is that there are many people that become more famous after they die. So now the question that remains is will his family allow them to be published? They may not want to publish any of his works to be published, but Salinger fans will presure the family to release his works. So I expect to hear of many fueds and speculations. I personally think that if one is published it will sell quickly to a large audience. Popularity is not the issue.

I agree with you largly. all that you have said sounds very likely to happen.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you also Neal. That's a good point about the "people sometimes become more famous after they die" theory. Like Heath Ledger, I think more people wanted to see The Dark Knight after they discovered he died. I know I saw it 4 times because he was just phenomenal in it. =)
ReplyDeleteGood points Neal, but what if it was not a matter of if he wanted his words to reach the hearts, minds and souls of the American audience, but what if it was all about the dislike he had with celebrity of being a famous author? In that case, would it be ok to put his works our there?
