	Conrad Salinger
		Conrad Salinger was one of the major behind-the-scenes talents at MGM for nearly a quarter-century.
		Salinger's work for the studio wasn't confined to the productions of the Freed unit, and didn't just involve musicals; he also prepared occasional orchestral arrangements of dramatic film scores.
		In the decades since his death, there emerged a renewed interest in MGM's musicals, and, as a result, Salinger probably became better known and regarded by serious movie buffs in the 21st century than he was in his own time, when the stars' names tended to overwhelm all other personalities and personnel.

		Salinger's portrayal of Holden, which includes incidents of depression, nervous breakdown, impulsive spending, sexual exploration, vulgarity, and other erratic behavior, have all attributed to the controversial nature of the novel.
		Much of Salinger's reputation, which he acquired after publication of The Catcher in the Rye, is derived from thoughtful and sympathetic insights into both adolescence and adulthood, his use of symbolism, and his idiomatic style, which helped to re-introduce the common idiom to American literature.
		While the young protagonists of Salinger's stories (such as Holden Caulfield) have made him a longtime favorite of high school and university audiences, establishing Salinger as "the spokesman for the goals and values for a generation of youth during the 1950's" (qtd.

		The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
		Salinger's uncanny depiction of the anguish of youth, coupled with Eastern mysticism and an eccentric but lovable family became a cult classic in the 50's.
		Salinger abandons the discipline and wonderful ambiguity of "Franny" for a rambling philosophical tract that seems to be written more for Salinger and his fictional brainchildren than any outside reader.

	JDS FAQ
		Many Salinger fans--and even more Salinger critics--have disparaged the story, pointing to the inside jacket of Franny and Zooey, where Salinger mentions the "real enough danger" that he may eventually "bog down, perhaps disappear entirely, in [his] own methods, locutions, and mannerisms." "Hapworth's" 30,000 words of precocious Salinger-speak are too much for them.
		Salinger, perhaps still a little reluctant in 1948 to abandon anti-materialism, an early preoccupation of his, in favor of simple anti-'intellectual-treasurism,' leaves threads of the former sticking out of the story all over the place.
		If Salinger does have his finger to the wind, he may have noticed that Pynchon (who hides in plain sight in New York with his wife, the literary agent Melanie Jackson, and their young son Jackson), has begun poking his neck from his shell in recent years.
