“There is a marvelous peace in not publishing”
So what about the safe?
The Salinger camp isn’t talking.
Author-editor Gordon Lish, who in the 1970s wrote an anonymous story that convinced some readers it was a Salinger original, said he was “certain” that good work was locked up in Cornish.
Lish said Salinger told him back in the 1960s that he was still writing about the Glass family, featured in much of Salinger’s work.
Among other speculation.

I’ll bet he left piles of manuscripts. I just I hope I live long enough to read them. I read where Salinger said something like his not publishing, just writing, gave him such great satisfaction and freedom. One can only hope, that is, if you are a serious Salinger fan as I am.
