Salinger Successfully Subdues 'Spinoff'

A Swedish author whose new book was promoted as a sequel to J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye" cannot publish it in the United States because it too closely mirrors Salinger's classic without adequate parody or critique, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Salinger sues over Rye 'sequel'

Author JD Salinger is taking legal action to block the publication of a book billed as a follow-up to his classic novel The Catcher in the Rye.
According to legal papers filed in New York, the 90-year-old's lawyers called the book a "rip-off pure and simple".
60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye features someone similar to Holden Caulfield from Salinger's work, which he says only he is able to use.
The reclusive author has previously refused filming rights for his story.
He has taken legal action to protect his copyright on previous occasions, but has never appeared in court.
Salinger has not published a book in decades.
