J. D. Salinger

J. D. Salinger died on Wednesday.  He was famous for not only his small but enduring collection of writings, but for his solitude for over 5o years.  I read Catcher in the Rye in the mid-70′s.  I believe my parents had to sign a permission slip for me to do so in my high school English class!

The New York Times has an interesting and lengthy obituary about Salinger.
