Holden Caulfield’s Revenge

3139685486_ff52ba3c8eConcluding our insider’s guide to “those other” pages in a book – the ones that authors don’t write – we’re looking at dedications, prefaces, introductions, footnotes, indices and appendices.  Phew!

In today’s Write Report, Donna reveals that a sequel has been published to Catcher in the Rye… but it’s not official, and this time, JD is a character in the novel too.  Awfully self-referential – but will it drag Mr. Salinger out of his hermithood long enough to issue a lawsuit? It’s all pretty murky, but Donna sheds some surprising illumination.

In Eve’s Salmagundi Club, she finds a site that creates mini-plots from the words on book spines… see it to believe it!
