J.D. Salinger Is Dead

The title says it all.  Even though he was in seclusion, writing only for himself for decades, this is a sad day and a great loss.

‘Catcher in the Rye’ author J.D. Salinger dies.

And, though I hate myself a little for considering this, I can’t help but wonder if this might let us all finally see what he’s been doing, writing all these years.  In equal parts, I’d like to read a “new” J.D. Salinger story as much as I’d like to discover he somehow took them all with him, forever, into mystery and legend.
