Farewell
"The writer J. D. Salinger, who died yesterday aged 91,
was as famous for his five decades of stringent reclusiveness as for his best-known novel, The Catcher in the Rye, which was
an instant bestseller when it was published in 1951. It also marked the beginning of an obsessive withdrawal from the
world. This hermit, who guarded his privacy with a shotgun and guard dogs behind high walls, was equally fierce in protecting
his anonymity with squads of lawyers who attempted to block anything intimate being written about him. He was the ultimate
celebrity, refusing interviews and insisting his photograph
was removed from
the dust-jackets
of his books."
