In a victory for the reclusive writer J. D. Salinger, a federal judge on Tuesday indefinitely banned publication in the United States of a new book by a Swedish author that contains a 76-year-old version of Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of “The Catcher in the Rye.”
The judge, Deborah A. Batts, of United States District Court in Manhattan, had granted a 10-day temporary restraining order last month against the author, Fredrik Colting, who wrote the new novel under the pen name J. D. California.
In a 37-page ruling filed on Wednesday, Judge Batts issued a preliminary injunction — indefinitely banning the publication, advertising or distribution of the book in this country — after considering the merits of the case. The book has been published in Britain.
“I am pretty blown away by the judge’s decision,” Mr. Colting said in an e-mail message after the ruling. “Call me an ignorant Swede, but the last thing I thought possible in the U.S. was that you banned books.” Mr. Colting and his lawyer, Edward H. Rosenthal, said they would appeal. The decision means that “members of the public are deprived of the chance to read the book and decide for themselves whether it adds to their understanding of Salinger and his work,” Mr. Rosenthal said.
Marcia B. Paul, a lawyer for Mr. Salinger, declined to comment on the decision.

"A former gravedigger and debut novelist has penned a sequel to J D Salinger’s seminal work 'The Catcher in the Rye' which is due to be released next month.
Swedish/American travel writer, John David California, wrote '60 Years Later Coming Through the Rye' after a becoming "captivated" by the story of Holden Caulfield. California said he first became acquainted with 'The Catcher in the Rye' after finding a well-thumbed copy in an abandoned cabin in rural Cambodia.
Published by Windupbird Publishing, the book is billed as 'freestanding' and so can be read without first reading the novel that inspired it. As the title suggests, the book tells the story of Caulfield 60 years later when he is 76-year-old resident of a nursing home.
Windupbird describes him as a "bewildered old man who is suddenly and maliciously yanked back onto the page by his creator". Caulfield comes to his senses and has an overwhelming compulsion to flee. He boards a bus and embarks on a curious journey through the streets of New York and "many poignant memories of his adulthood".
Windupbird added: "Threaded through this is the conscience of his creator, who, while attempting to understand his American anti-hero, fiercely battles to keep up with him and control the directions he takes."
'60 Years Later Coming Through the Rye' will be launched on 25th June with a rrp £7.99.""A former gravedigger and debut novelist has penned a sequel to J D... more
