Author of The Catcher in the Rye, JD Salinger continues to be the recipient of enviable posthumous fame. The 16-year-old wry narrator Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of his celebrated 1951 novel, still resonates with teenagers and young adults alike. But, in his lifetime, Salinger was equally (in)famous for being a recluse, a reputation that bordered on being notorious.
