Respect. Catcher in the Rye will always be a sentimental favourite of mine. I read it at least once a year and I love it more each time.

Great writer, undoubtedly. I thought Catcher in the Rye was a masterpiece, and have heard that Franny and Zooey is even better (though I’ve yet to read the latter). Guy was a pretty a terrible human being, though, and I’ve always felt that some of that comes through in his writing. Check this out:

Mr. Salinger was controlling and sexually manipulative, Ms. Maynard wrote, and a health nut obsessed with homeopathic medicine and with his diet (frozen peas for breakfast, undercooked lamb burger for dinner). Ms. Salinger said that her father was pathologically self-centered and abusive toward her mother, and to the homeopathy and food fads she added a long list of other exotic enthusiasms: Zen Buddhism, Vedanta Hinduism, Christian Science, Scientology and acupuncture. Mr. Salinger drank his own urine, she wrote, and sat for hours in an orgone box.

But was he writing?

Sounds like a lot of artists (except the urine part), F Scott Fitzgerald, for example, was a prick towards Zelda.

I didn’t enjoy Franny and Zooey that much. For me, Salinger’s next best work is ‘Nine Stories’.
