A federal judge has ruled that a Swedish author cannot publish in the United States a book he wrote that was advertised as a sequel to J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher In The Rye."
Judge Deborah Batts issued her ruling Wednesday after hearing arguments in a lawsuit brought by the 90-year-old reclusive author against publishers of the book, "60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye." The book was scheduled to be published in the United States late this summer.
The Manhattan judge heard arguments last month.
