About J.D. Salinger
J.D. Salinger was an American author best known for his classic novel "The Catcher in the Rye," published in 1951, which has become a significant work in 20th-century literature and a cultural touchstone for teenage disillusionment. Born on January 1, 1919, in New York City, Salinger achieved fame for his poignant exploration of complex themes such as alienation and identity, but he became increasingly reclusive after the success of his work, limiting his public appearances and publications. He continued to write privately until his death on January 27, 2010, leaving behind a legacy that has deeply influenced generations of readers and writers.
