Reclusive Author J.D. Salinger Dies at 91
“If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.”
— Opening sentence from ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ by J.D. Salinger, dead today at 91.
