70 years after its original publication, an updated reissue of Nine Tales is coming out in Spanish these days, the first book written by the elusive American narrator J.D. Salinger, whose edition was supervised by his son Matt, who was on tour in Spain to accompany the launch, announced that he is advancing in the edition of an unpublished text by his father, and that according to his estimates it could reach publishers within a maximum period of two years. American actor and producer, Matt Salinger is in charge, together with his father's widow, of managing his literary legacy. That task took him to Madrid this week to present a commemorative edition made by the Alianza publishing house 70 years after the appearance of Nine Tales (1953), the first volume of the writer's stories. Salinger's son held a meeting with the press this Wednesday where he said that the narrator of spy novels left a hidden work and that before dying he asked him to publish it, even with the "warts", the imperfections and notes in the margins. The legendary author of The Catcher in the Rye died in 2010 with those thousands of unpublished pages that could now see the light of day, at least that is what his son promises, who maintained that he is making progress in the work of transcribing that material. "I hope it's ready before I die," he joked. The executor also explained that these notes are complicated, notes by hand and typed, which is why he estimates "a year and a half or more to finish." Matt said that his father retired from literary life seeking retirement beyond fame: he liked silence and wanted to dedicate himself to his family. Although his published work is brief - it is made up of The Catcher in the Rye, Nine Stories, Franny and Zooey and Get Up, Carpenters, Life on the Roof and Seymour, an Introduction - it is known that he never stopped writing during the 45 years of silence. that followed his last published title. Only when documentary filmmakers Shane Salerno and David Shields released the diptych "Salinger" three years after his disappearance - an unauthorized biography in book and documentary format - did it become known that there was material from which his widow Colleen O'Neill and his son Matt would be executors. Not so his other daughter, Margaret Salinger, with whom he did not have a good relationship after publishing "The Guardian of Dreams" in 2000, a harsh editorial portrait in which he drew his father as an enlightened egoist dedicated to his work.
