J. D. Salinger

Date of Birth:

01-Jan-1919

Nationality:

United States

Profession:

UJ.D. Salinger was a well-known giant even though he had little secular work and rebuilt his life. His landmark novel, The Catcher in the Rye, has set a new literary career behind WWII America and elevated Salinger to higher places in literary fame. Despite his small body of livelihood and life-style, Salinger was one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century. His short stories, many of which appeared in The New Yorker, inspired the early works of writers such as Phillip Roth, John Updike and Harold Brodkey. In 1953, Salinger left New York City and lived a life of secrecy, announcing only new news before his death.
