The attractiveness behind reading Salinger's books is not just for his style of writing, or his profanity, but the kind person that he'd become after fame. Unlike other writers and persons who became famous, Salinger preferred to hide and get away from the media. It seems that it wasn't just his character in "The Catcher in the Rye" who didn’t like "phony people".
It is quite unusual, thought. We think that the first reaction after writing bestsellers would be to publish more books. Salinger kept writing, as far as we know, but refused to publish his work. It is believed that he wrote every morning and had finished more than 15 novels.
Obviously, if Salinger was already a living mystery, after dead he'll become a legend. If the guy was a compulsive writer that "just wrote for the heck of it", I'm sure more books will be found.
Should we expect for innovation? There is no way to know. All we can do now is to hope that the ones responsible for his heritage agree to publish the works that haven’t been published when he was alive.

Some good insight into both Salinger's life and the characters which he portrayed in his works. I agree that your analysis of his intent to be less know is well stated. Nice post and commentary.
