Director Shane Salerno offers an intimate look at J.D. Salinger in his documentary Salinger. The film reveals for the first time that Salinger wrote for almost half a century in self-imposed solitary confinement, producing four unpublished books, including a sequel to The Catcher In The Rye. “What he’s really been doing for all of these years of writing only for himself, locked away, is creating the story of these two extraordinary families, the Glass family and the Caulfield family,” Salerno told Uinterview exclusively. “Those are the masterworks for which we will know Salinger, and in the Caulfield case, that does include continuing some of the stories in The Catcher in the Rye.”
