Online books retailer Amazon.com has pulled a listing for a new book by reclusive American author JD Salinger.
Amazon had said that 'Hapworth 16, 1924' would be published in November. The novella first appeared in the New Yorker in 1965 and was expected to appear in book form five years ago.
Phyllis Westberg, Salinger's agent, and his publisher Orchises have stated that the date is wrong. They did not give an alternative publication date. Salinger was unavailable for comment.
