Nach der Ray Bradbury-Sache (siehe
da und
dort) hier nun die nächste Skurrilität aus dem amerikanischen Literaturbetrieb:
Auf eBay wird gerade eine Toilette versteigert, die angeblich J.D. Salinger gehört hat. Ein echter, äh, Leckerbissen für Hardcore-Fans: Die Schüssel kommt laut Artikelbeschreibung ungeputzt:
"This is the toilet that was personally owned AND used by J.D. Salinger for many years! It sat in his home in Cornish, New Hampshire, and was installed in the 'new wing' of his house. When he died, his wife inherited all of his manuscripts with plans to eventually release some of them! Who knows how many of these stories were thought up and written while Salinger sat on this throne! This vintage toilet is from 1962 and is dated under the lid. It will come to you uncleaned and in it's original condition when it was removed from Salinger's old home! It will also include a letter from Joan Littlefield. Her and her husband are the new owners of Salinger's house and are the ones who had the toilet removed and replaced. It is dated April 16, 2010. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history!!
