J. D. Salinger |
Author

His last published original work was in 1965, and his last interview in 1980.Raised in Manhattan, Salinger began writing short stories while in secondary school, and published several in Story magazine in the early 1940s before serving in World War II.

He followed Catcher with a short story collection, Nine Stories (1953), a volume containing a novella and a sho...view more
