Moreover, the piece became a topic amidst a biographer's attempt to use contents of Salinger's letters. At least one letter,[5] available at the library, briefly mentions the piece and Salinger's subsequent unwavering decision to withdraw the powerful story from publication and refusal to discuss the reasoning (it was accepted at Story in 1942 after being rejected by The New Yorker the same year). Salinger's estate as well as his literary agency, Harold Ober Associates, have stipulated the work will not be published until 2051, per his explicit wishes.[6] In September 2013 it was reported that, along with a series of other works by Salinger, the story would be published between 2015 and 2020, although it has yet to be published.[7][8]
