Four books by the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. will be republished by Beacon Press. The four King books have been published in the past, but have all been out of print for almost twenty years. Beacon Press is a publisher dedicated to works on human rights and social justice. The Press will release the four King works on January 18th of next year on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Books being reissued are “Stride Toward Freedom”, which focuses on the Montgomery Bus Boycott, “Strength to Love”, King’s most celebrated stories, “Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?”, the last book on race relations written by King, and “Trumpet of Conscience”, a compilation of five King lectures. The deal with Beacon was made by King’s youngest son and is being called “The King Legacy”.

Reclusive author J.D. Salinger has taken a Swedish author to court. The author’s novel “60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye” is called a sequel of Salinger’s most famous novel “The Catcher in the Rye”. Arguments in the trial focused on whether or not Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of “Catcher” is subject to his own copyright, and whether or not “60 Years Later” is too closely related to “Catcher” to be published in the United States where “Catcher” is still under copyright. U.S. District Judge Deborah Batts will rule whether or not the new work is far enough removed from Salinger’s original work to be published under fair use laws. The author of “60 Years” declares his work a critical interpretation of Salinger’s work. Salinger’s team believes that “60 Years” is much too similar to “Catcher” to be considered its own work. A ruling on the issue is expected within ten days.
