Thread Name: Obit: J.D. Salinger (1919-2010)
Subject: RE: Obit: J.D. Salinger (1919-2010)
What a fascinating article on him--and what a complex guy he was.   Retired from society in large part in 1953?   A recluse since then--albeit with at least one affair.

Quickly soured on fame.

Sued people who wanted to write about him--and won.

And landed at Utah Beach on D-Day? ( Never would have suspected that.)

Now maybe there can be more books written on his life.   Definitely sounds like it would hold the reader's interest.
