J.D Salinger - A literary recluse

Bio: Born on January 1, 1919, in New York, J.D. Salinger was a literary giant despite his slim body of work and reclusive lifestyle. His landmark novel, The Catcher in the Rye, set a new course for literature in post-WWII America and vaulted Salinger to the heights of literary fame. In 1953, Salinger moved from New York City and led a secluded life, only publishing one new story before his death.

J.D Salinger is probably one of the most interesting people to learn about. The Catcher in the Rye is and will always be one of my favorite novels. Also his short story "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" is truly amazing. If you're interested, link will be below. Also in 2013 a movie came out titled Salinger, which was a documentary of his life and stories (link to details below). Salinger is one of those few people I think of when people ask, "if you could have coffee with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?"
