	JD Salinger
		I am one of those--to do some confessing of my own-- for whom Salinger's work dawned as something of a revelation...The refusal to rest content, the willingness to risk excess on behalf of one’s obsessions, is what distinguishes artists from entertainers, and what makes some artists adventurers on behalf of us all.
		Those traits of JD Salinger which most motivate his stories are not traits which are unique to the author, but traits which are shared by us all.
		JD Salinger did not choose to withdraw from scrutiny because it was easy.

		Salinger was devastated, and this episode is thought to have permanently jaundiced his view of the motion picture industry.
		Primarily a short story writer, published in periodicals such as The New Yorker and Story, Salinger's reputation as one of the most talented writers of his generation was sealed in 1951 with the publication of The Catcher in the Rye, a touchstone of modern American literature.

	Dueling Biographies of J.D. Salinger
		Salinger seems satisfied with presenting information, rather than analyzing it; for instance, we're told that the young J.D. ran away a lot as a child, but never offered any explanation as to why, or as to how that might have informed his development as an artist or young man. On those rare occasions when Ms.
		Salinger does attempt to more closely examine her father, she does so through the cipher of his work, or other people's (she quotes Maynard throughout) rather than relaying memories of his real-life behaviors or attitudes.
		Salinger's book is a color-by-numbers memoir of her own life, which might have been salvageable if, by her proximity to her father, we were able to glean information about the man himself.

		The clear winners were Albert Camus' The Outsider and J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, both tales of angst and alienation in the modern world.
		The characters of JD Salinger are not fabrications, they are you and I. Their triumphs are the same triumphs contained in the seemingly average moments of our lives that we overlook.
		But thoughtful readers of JD Salinger will realize that the Caulfields never really die; that death is a spiritual state that we struggle against from the moment of awareness; that the loss of "innocence" is actually the loss of the ignorance of that struggle.

	J.D. Salinger Biography (born 1919)
		Jerome David Salinger, American novelist and short story writer, was born in New York in 1919 to a prosperous Jewish importer of Kosher cheese and his Scotch-Irish wife.
		However, Salinger is best known for his novel The Catcher in the Rye (1951), the story of adolescent Holden Caulfield who runs away from boarding school in Pennsylvania to New York, where he preserves his innocence despite various attempts to lose it.
		The colloquial, lively, first-person narration, with its attacks on the 'phomimess' of the adult world and its clinging to family sentiment in the form of Holden's affection for his sister Phoebe, made the novel accessible to and popular with a wide readership, particularly with the young.

		JD Salinger wrote a masterpiece before pulling a public Houdini that removed him permanently from the spotlight.
		Salinger has been celebrated as recently as Wes Anderson’s ode to his more playful side in the film The Royal Tenenbaums, as well as clearly being a primary motivator of the film Finding Forrester, and forming a central plot point of an astute dissertation in the film and stage versions of Six Degrees of Separation.
		What Salinger did after the success of Catcher has solidified his legend as perhaps the writer most in touch with his characters and, perhaps tragically, the least able to learn from the lessons these characters taught.

		Salinger's only novel drew from characters he had already created in two short stories published in 1945 and 1946, "This Sandwich Has No Mayonnaise" and "I'm Crazy." The latter story is an alternate take on several of the chapters in The Catcher in the Rye.
		Salinger followed The Catcher in the Rye with Nine Stories (1953), a selection of his best literary work, and Franny and Zooey in 1961, which draws from two earlier stories in The New Yorker.
		Maynard later became a published writer herself, publishing the comic novel To Die For and, in controversial move, publishing a memoir concerning her relationship with Salinger that implied that Salinger's demand for privacy stemmed from his awareness that his activities, such as several relationships with young women such as Maynard, would mar his reputation.
