J.D. Salinger invented blogs, according to a federal judge who granted a temporary injunction yesterday against John David California's planned "parody" of Catcher in the Rye.

Hermetically-sealed Catcher in the Rye author J.D. Salinger sued to prevent some Swedish writer from publishing an updated spinoff version of his book. And Salinger's won, for the moment! What a crock.

J.D. Salinger, now 90 years old and still living in seclusion in New Hampshire, is suing the author and publisher of a "sequel" to Catcher in the Rye, seeking to prevent its publication later this year.

The world needs a Catcher in the Rye sequel like it needs an asshole on its elbow. Well, since New Jersey exists, so too must the book. Some debut novelist has published an unauthorized sequel.
