Three unpublished works by J.D, Salinger, including The Ocean Full of Bowling Balls, have been leaked online after showing up in an eBay auction. Birthday Boy, Paula, and the aforementioned Ocean are three short stories that form part of a larger collection of Salinger works that was never published. The Ocean Full of Bowling Balls is a much sought-after tale as it relates with characters that appear in Salingers most famous novel, The Catcher in the Rye. The two other stories can also be found in University of Texas’ Ransom Center, and have been confirmed as genuine.
