Salinger Doesn’t Screw Around

3307464691_d4e4156df0It’s Friday – so it’s the first new-style edition of THE WRITE REPORT with our own Donna Ballman.  J.D. Salinger is suing to stop publication of an unauthorized sequel to “The Catcher in the Rye”.  But will the famous recluse actually show up for a deposition?  And is that really what this is about – to pull him out of seclusion?  Also, Amazon and Hachette resolve the standoff that had Hachette’s “buy” buttons removed from Amazon’s store… and e-books are accused of being elitist.
