Quoted III

"Joyce Maynard, who lived with Mr. Salinger in the early ’70s, wrote in a 1998 memoir that she had seen shelves of notebooks devoted to the Glass family and believed there were at least two new novels locked away in a safe."

- Charles McGrath, "Still Paging Mr. Salinger," New York Times, 12/30/08

This article kind of epitomized the slow news day ("Salinger: Still a Recluse" is not exactly breaking or urgent news), but as a Glass family devotee, the above sentence made my heart skip a beat. I hope against hope that he ultimately decides to share whatever his output has been with the fans who love those characters.
