A strange man, he, apparently.

Having graduated from high school in the mid-50s, and taking college freshman English still in the 50s, I missed Salinger. As I was graduating from college, The Catcher in the Rye was beginning to be part of the English Dept. canon. I remember kids carrying the book around. I read about ten or so pages (I thought for pleasure) and gave it up. I guess that makes my education somewhat incomplete, although I prefer to think that I never much suffered the alienation felt by Salinger and his creations, and so didn't identify with it (them).

RIP JDS - will you find seclusion wherever it is you've gone?
