Can you even imagine newly released JD Salinger novels?!?! For me this will be the biggest thing to happen in literature since... well since JD Salinger
It's summer 2024 and I'm still waiting for new Salinger material published !!!!! Wasn't it supposed to start around 2016 ??? What happened ??? Or maybe I missed some releases (I'm french and I live in France) ??? Does anyone know what's going on with that ??
It is one of the things I've always loved about Salinger....his unwillingness to allow literature to become nothing more than a vehicle for a movie script. I like reading writers work. I feel like I"m having a direct conversation or relationship with them. It's their words and images we share. It is sacred, and I'm glad he has a no movie clause on his work. Not all books should be run through the hollywood machine.
I enjoyed this interview so much. I’m grateful to Penguin books and I’m especially grateful to Mathew Salinger. J. D. Salinger’s art has had an enormous influence on my life and I’m always looking to learn more about it and it’s creator. I always think of him as a sweet guy who came home from the war to write beautiful love stories. I consider the Glass family to be among the best literary inventions of the 20th century. I identified with Holden Caulfield so strongly that it was nearly life threatening, and I felt that reading Frannie and Zooey was the cure to that life threatening condition. I love that Mathew recognizes the value and uniqueness of his father’s legacy. Thank you, thank you!
i once wrote a fan letter to jd salinger when i was 11 and was ill.....only one i ever wrote/sent to anyone...was very moved by the catcher in rye..... hope u release more of his work soon! we implore u matt, please release his later works soon! bless u !
From everything I’ve read about JD Salinger, he always believed he was the smartest guy in the room, very self aware of his own special talent. I feel when he wrote Catcher in the Rye, which seemingly is autobiographical. He was turned off by the million of readers who all identify themselves as Holden Caulfield. I think that turned him off along with so many seeking his counsel for answers. It was too much BS to deal with, after all he was the real Holden. The rest were phonies.
Great interview - thank you. I know he wanted a pure relationship between his work and his readers, which is why he resisted any sort of adaptation of his work, and perhaps also why he didn’t want to become a public figure himself lest readers latch onto his persona the same way they latch onto the characters he created. I know he found the trappings and obligations of being a published writer to be both burdensome and soul-dirtying, since the publisher would make him do certain things in order to sell the “product”. But most other writers, even those who feel the same way Salinger did about that process, feel like that is the price one pays in order to get one’s work in the hands of readers. The essential point of writing is to communicate, after all, and even his son says that Salinger enjoyed having his work read by people and the relationship he then forges with them. By denying his readers that he didn’t really hold up his end of that relationship - and it also forgets that the only reason he could afford to be so “pure” is that he evidently made enough money from sales of Catcher in the Rye to support himself and his family the rest of his life. (And it also means, ironically, that the bulk of his work from the second half of his life will be presented in an impure way - it has to be edited and prepared by others for publication in forms that he may not have intended.) The question that remains for me about Salinger is how much of both his work and his attitude toward it was shaped by his experience in the military. My father was one year older than Salinger and was a paratrooper in the European theater in WWII; I don’t know much beyond that since he died when I was six, but even my older siblings didn’t know much more than that; at a recent reunion I was shocked to discover that two of my siblings didn’t even know he was in the war. Apparently it’s very common for veterans of that war to be silent about their experiences and to create these kind of idealized relationships with people and their own legacies that seem to transcend day-to-day societal transactions. Perhaps, then, this is all working out exactly the way he wanted it: to be a posthumous author. In order for his work to have the perfect relationship with its readers the author itself must be gone. That makes sense the more I think about it.
That was a really, really nice interview, maam. Very respectful and soft on the person and subject matter. To me very important the stressing or highlighting Salinger's lack of interest, even avoidance of fame linked to attention, such being percieved as obstacles. My take, hammered on take, being that in Oriental mysticism, perhaps all mysticism, action not motivated by results, fame in this case, is the highest ideal.
To this day I will never understand how people calling themselves fans would show up at this man's house and how scary that must have been. Especially when some of the crazies had used his book to murder people. I can't imagine how he must have felt about that while trying to keep his kids safe growing up. This man gave us some great books and in my opinion, doesn't owe us anymore. If they want to release the books they can but people shouldn't be demanding it. Jd salinger doesn't owe us anything.
He is so right about not having art work of any kind being made about his books. Anytime I read a book that has a movie attached, I see the actors. I love it when I read a book and you can go into their world and see the characters in your mind of what you think they are instead of the actor that plays them.
Interesting interview. Loved most of his father's work and this was nice to hear. BTW, I just caught one of Matt's old movies on here "Deadly Deception". He also played Captain America I think.
fascinating that all the 'Catcher' movies out there ALL come from the point of view of some kid demanding that his interpretation is the real one, and that they themselves are living Holden's life. That the work inspired madness in some is tragic, but the idea that all the attempts to describe the work on film come from that singular standpoint of mistaking oneself for the character in the book, that to me is interesting. Woody Allen's attempt in New York Stories is the exception to the rule as much of his work proves to this day.
“If somebody knows quite a lot about those things, it takes you quite a while to find out whether they’re really stupid or not”.. by those things Holden meant theater and plays and literature... I read this line and paused. And came here.
It's sort of like it's forbidden to make an image of G-d because it's limiting. He wanted the same on his writing- for it to remain a spiritual thing that cannot be formed into a specific image picture
"Excuse me. Can you stop the car? I'm a little sick." (Goes outside. Pretends to cough for awhile. then runs off to steal the car.) BEST CAPTAIN AMERICA EVER.
Why whyyyy does nobody ask him about Salinger's earlier works? Why not release them just for academic purposes???? Update: It seems we'll wait over 5 years, at least
Exactly. The continued delay in publishing is unpardonable and unacceptable. What possible reasons are there for refusing to publish a single story, out of fifty years of daily writing? I have started to think this is a literary hoax.
@@timgreenglass I agree it's very strange but he seems genuine enough and I can't see that he benefits in any particular way from mere delay. I don't understand why he doesn't hand over documents to any number of specialists who would be willing to copy it all out. Surely that's all it amounts to? Copying I mean. There can be no value in editing.
Salinger was brilliant, wrote with passion. He was also cruel to his children and his spouses. His words could cut these young women to the quick. He was not a good man nor was he a nice man. He was the same as many men..a narcissist.
The thing I do not understand. HE said his father did not want any publicity, didn't want to be famous..sow why publish then, why did he just keep his work to himself?
I think because in he said to release everything after 50 years maybe because those stories he felt that they didn't match up to the catcher in the rye maybe he realized that he wanted his legacy to continue and that no ones gonna care what he thinks
didnt you hear the mr.antolini reference? he wanted people to feel supported, to have a voice that said i understand you, i know uoure struggling and i'm here for you, it's not about the fame you idiot
you cannot help people without putting your work somewhere they can reach it, he just chose to wait til he was gone, to avoid the burden of fame, but his intention was always for his work to go out into the worldand be accessible for everyone
i think JD salinger did love his readers and admire his editors but i think he also know his editors and readers wanted a steam of novel after novel from him for years. and anyone who know JD salinger as a writer know he prefered the short stories and medium size stories because they more to the point in than novels are. maybe there are novels in his new books (and i hope there are like anyone else :) but i bet the most of it is short stories and salinger just didnt wanted to see people criticize him for not writing enough novels. in short he wanted to write what he wanted to write when he feel like to. it feel so great to get more books of him in maybe 2026
How much ya want to bet there will be no more Salinger books released? This is just the estate diverting the fans after his death. Though the son seems like a nice enuf guy.
I’m struggling to find a way that this does not sound insensitive. There is probably no way to ask this question without seeming to care more about books than a family and their feelings. But here Matt says the wants to get the books out within three to six years. From the time of this interview? Because it’s now been eleven years since his father’s passing. So we’ll see new books between 2022 and 2025?
@@williamdonnelly224, yeah I think you are right. Also, I’m currently reading the Joyce Maynard memoir, and if he was really as messed up as she describes, I doubt he wrote anything worth reading.
Well, I've read about writers describing America a person. Vladimir Nabokov wrote America as a 14 year old girl who lost innocence. Selinger as a 17 old boy. Both two youngster of different writers have one thing in common. Both broken and hurt. They are one of those Pourri avant de mouir. As a young independent country in "O Brave New World " "With such a wonderful people in it" America was totally screwed from their youth.
I don't think ANYTHING new by JDS is ever going to be published. I mean, he died 11 years ago, and not even ONE new piece has been published. I think this nothing but JDS' last prank on the world.
Something tells me we're all being led by the nose over a cliff and no new Salinger. Luckily, I've got Catcher in the 4 languages I speak and or dabble in.
I don't want to read anything JD didn't want published himself. What's next a Holden film. Keep the man a mystery. I don't think his son knows his father any better than JD readers
I wish the interviewer would ask something about the memoirs of his daughter who did not see her father as a saint. I love Salinger's writing, but truth be told, he was abusive to his first wife, as well to Joyce Maynard.
Maria She was an adult at the time. He never abused her. She did though by writing a tell all book and making money off oh him. She’s a despicable bitch and harpy.
Oh man, just publish the damn stuff. If we're going to be all high and mighty of the pureness of the great artiste, why not consider the feelings of his audience. Also in being a recluse he succeeded in getting *more* attention not less.
Salinger was brilliant, wrote with passion. He was also cruel to his children and his spouses. His words could cut these young women to the quick. He was not a good man nor was he a nice man. He was the same as many men..a narcissist.
Not really worth the seconds it takes to type this, but you are certainly full of yourself, aren't you? Were you a personal friend of his or are you alter "Artificial Intelligence"? J.D. Salinger's books are crushingly beautiful! Lastly, thanks, Matt and Erica, for doing this interview.
I feel like religion will be a huge part of any new book and that will be a new experience one can hope to have the chance to read in some future , im happy that mr salinger takes care so much of his dads work he be proud
Matt played Captain America in a direct to video film thirty plus years ago. The film was not very good. That pretty much ended Matt's bid for stardom. Matt has become the George Lazenby or Klinton Spilsbury of Marvel films. It's not his fault. Thirty, forty fifty years ago-with the exceptions of the Superman films, the Hulk tv show, the Wonder Woman tv show-the studios had no idea how to go about doing live action superhero films. I'm not counting Batman 66 being that's a parody. Shazam was ok as far as Saturday Morning children shows.

You will be remembered as a legend
And a PDF file…he loved him some little girls
Cmon man, give us a few of his stories or books!!! I ain’t getting any younger.
Yeah. I’d really rather not miss his work having waited from the age I first read them to now (about 30 years).
It’s getting kind of ridiculous
What the heck why does this not have 1 million views?
Because J.D wouldn't have liked it :p
LeGunslinger perfect
That is exactly what I asked myself. Boy, oh Boy!
People rather watch cats than great literature...
Cos everyone is a damn moron
It's 4 years later. I wonder how much closer we are to possible publication of more of his works.
came here to ask the same question
It's Captain America. I saw Matt Salinger as a child watching Captain America, I must've watched the dozens of times over

Same
@@gertiegert3910 Why?
I read Salinger's works with continued interest and love every January and some parts of them occasionally when I need to meet his characters again.
What a humble man. Lovely interview!
I’ve reread all his work multiple times now… I can’t wait for more of his work to be available.
I love how Erica Wagner comes across like a character in a Christopher Guest mockumentary.
I really hope Matt makes a cameo in Secret Wars as old man Captain America like in the comics.
We salute you, Sir.
Just watched this whole thing after rewatching Cap 1990. Very interesting guy!
Paraprax Mark and his dad were super heroes but in very different ways.
what an insightful and delightful conversation to watch!
I wish they would have dealt more with Revenge of the Nerds.

Joyce Maynard wrote of her brief life with Salinger
and was by unfairly crucified by the literary press.
Read her book.
There are many truths.
Yes, many truths but airing them out, despite the minor career her relationship with JDS has afforded her, is just so small and indecent.
Am reading her book now. It offers many insights to who JD was indeed. This is yet another case of a great artist who is also deeply troubled.
Salinger was brilliant, wrote with passion. He was also cruel to his children and his spouses. His words could cut these young women to the quick. He was not a good man nor was he a nice man. He was the same as many men..a narcissist.
5 more years left....................
June 2024 still no new releases from Salinger.

i think JD salinger did love his readers and admire his editors but i think he also know his editors and readers wanted a steam of novel after novel from him for years.
and anyone who know JD salinger as a writer know he prefered the short stories and medium size stories because they more to the point in than novels are.
maybe there are novels in his new books (and i hope there are like anyone else :)
but i bet the most of it is short stories and salinger just didnt wanted to see people criticize him for not writing enough novels.
in short he wanted to write what he wanted to write when he feel like to.
it feel so great to get more books of him in maybe 2026
He also preferred little kids and grooming them.
Quelle belle entrevue ! Catcher in the rye has been such an important work for me. I can identify as a writer. Thank you for this wonderful interview.
Matt Salinger ( Captain America)!!! Great actor.
You need to come back as Captain America Sir. I'll play Superman ❤
The trend of his published writings was towards inaccessibility (see Hapworth). I hope this trend didn't continue for 50 years.

Salinger knew everything would be compared to Catcher, he was reticent to publish anything that he didn't think could match it.
Agreed
Actually he published five stories/novellas after "Catcher". They were about the 7 Glass family children.
Hopefully this is not a way to slap a name on something to capitalize after someone's death. Harper Lee's mysterious 2nd novel, anyone?

Matt has become the George Lazenby or Klinton Spilsbury of Marvel films. It's not his fault. Thirty, forty fifty years ago-with the exceptions of the Superman films, the Hulk tv show, the Wonder Woman tv show-the studios had no idea how to go about doing live action superhero films. I'm not counting Batman 66 being that's a parody. Shazam was ok as far as Saturday Morning children shows.
Captain America 👍👍👍
Yay... Captain America !!
