J.D. is gone

On Tuesday 27th of January one of my favourite writers, J.D. Salinger, died in his house, at the age of 91.
To be honest, I could say - Well, it's okay, he was old. He died of natural causes. He hasn't published anything for many years, he decided to walk away from the busy, noisy, modern world and do not communicate with it.
But I feel a loss and I can't help it. Noone will replace him and his great works.
One ray of light - apparently there is a safe in his house, where Salinger kept at least 15 complete manuscripts... Will we able, after so many years, read something "new" by the legendary writer?
