The Catcher in the Rye - Where did you go, J.D.? o.O

So, Mr. Salinger was a recluse. I didn't know why, but that's why I'm doing this blog. (Hurdur)
Apparently, Sir Salinger was a recluse because he didn't enjoy the public eye. He didn't want fame to come with his writing, but it did at as a cost (in his case) to publish his books, so he chose to live alone as a recluse. J.D. Salinger's writing can have parallels drawn from them to J.D.'s own life, where he lived in a well-to-do home and served in the Army.

The Catcher in the Rye was considered a controversial book, because depicting a child with an unstable mental nature. On the other hand, some claimed it was a book that looked in the minds and problems of the American youth.

Mr. Salinger did not want his book transformed into a movie, to avoid further fame, but various characters in many films have been based on Holden Caulfield, the main character of "The Catcher in the Rye." Some of these include Holden McNeil of "Chasing Amy", who was named after Holden Caulfield, and Neil in "Chasing Holden", who compares his life to Holden's and the movie is named after Holden Caulfield.
