'Catcher in the Rye' Author Salinger Dies at 91

J.D. Salinger, the celebrated author of The Catcher in the Rye and Franny and Zooey has died at the age of 91. Having outlived his reputation, but never having quite escaped it, Salinger spent most of the latter half of his life as recluse in New Hampshire, pestered occasionally by fans and by Joyce Maynard, but otherwise apparently profoundly unproductive.
