R.I.P. J.D. Salinger

[Kamon]

Author J.D. Salinger, who wrote the iconic "Catcher in the Rye," has died at age 91. The author's son, through Salinger's literary agent, said Salinger died at his home in New Hampshire of natural causes.

Considered one of the best writers of the 20th century, Salinger stopped having his worked published and became famous as a recluse who lived in a small, remote house in Cornish, N.H., refused to accept fan mail, and fought legal battles to keep his works from being published.

Rest in peace, Salinger. You were a gentleman and a scholar.

Salinger was one of few who had both the gift to see clearly into the depths of human soul and to relay it to us all in his writing. Only a handful have ever so deeply glimpsed into the social and antisocial tendencies of man's mind. In my mind, he was like James Joyce.

Rest in peace, Holden Caulfield.
