A choice quote from 60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye - a ‘rather dismal’ (according to a recent court ruling) piece of literature that was intended to be a sequel/parody/commentary on The Catcher in the Rye.
Slate does a nice overview of it - saving you the trouble of actually reading the thing (you’d have to order it from the UK anyway). The most outrageous part is probably the following:
To reinforce the idea that Salinger’s teenager is now an old man, California gifts him a urological problem: References to his full bladder are many and close between, and C’s continence fails him on more than one occasion. Not wishing to completely unman C, California drops in a revolting sexual tussle with a voracious young woman: “I roll harder and faster and I feel my erection roll with me, but still the animal is there, pushing into my mouth,” C tells us.
Ugh.
Leave JD alone!
