John David California
John David California was the pseudonym used by Swedish book publisher Fredrik Colting when on 7 May 2009 he published ''60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye'' in the United Kingdom. The book was presented as a sequel to '' The Catcher in the Rye'' by J. D. Salinger, with Salinger's antihero Holden Caulfield now a 76-year-old man on the run from a nursing home. Salinger, who died in January 2010, was in the process of suing Colting for copyright infringement, and had succeeded in getting a court order which indefinitely bans the publication, advertising or distribution of the book in the United States. Before and during the UK launch, Colting claimed that J D California was a "Swedish-American" author, and presented the book as a sequel. However, when his lawyers submitted a "defendants' memorandum" to a federal court in Manhattan on 15 June 2009, this memorandum claimed that the novel is a legally protected commentary and parody of ''The Catcher in the Rye'', and not an una ...

The Catcher In The Rye
''The Catcher in the Rye'' is an American novel by J. D. Salinger that was partially published in serial form from 1945–46 before being novelized in 1951. Originally intended for adults, it is often read by adolescents for its themes of angst and alienation, and as a critique of superficiality in society. The novel also deals with complex issues of innocence, identity, belonging, loss, connection, sex, and depression. The main character, Holden Caulfield, has become an icon for teenage rebellion. Caulfield, nearly of age, gives his opinion on just about everything as he narrates his recent life events. ''The Catcher'' has been translated widely. About one million copies are sold each year, with total sales of more than 65 million books.

Holden Caulfield
Holden Caulfield (identified as "Holden Morrisey Caulfield" in the story "Slight Rebellion Off Madison" , and "Holden V. Caulfield" in ''The Catcher In The Rye'') is a fictional character in the works of author J. D. Salinger. He's most famous for his appearance as the lead character and narrator of the 1951 novel ''The Catcher in the Rye''. Since the book's publication, Holden has become an icon for teenage rebellion and angst, and is considered among the most important characters of 20th-century American literature. The name Holden Caulfield was initially used in an unpublished short story written in 1941 and first appeared in print in 1945. Salinger's various stories (and one novel) featuring a character named Holden Caulfield do not share a cohesive timeline, and details about "Holden Caulfield" and his family are often inconsistent or completely contradictory from one story to another. Most notably, in some Salinger short stories "Holden Caulfield" is a soldier in WWII w ...
