J. D. Salinger
American writer, 1919-2010
"Jerome David Salinger was an American writer best known for his novel ""The Catcher in the Rye"". It was published in 1951 and became an immediate popular success. Salinger's depiction of adolescent alienation and loss of innocence in the protagonist Holden Caulfield was influential, especially among adolescent readers. The novel was widely read and controversial, especially due to its coarse language and use of swearwords. He followed ""Catcher"" with a short story collection, ""Nine Stories"" (1953); a volume containing a novella and a short story, ""Franny and Zooey"" (1961); and a volume containing two novellas, ""Raise High the Roof Beam"", ""Carpenters"" and ""Seymour: An Introduction"" (1963)."

Salinger writes to Ramona Blue that he is, "at best a sort of one-shot letter-answerer, but [...] that exceptionally nice letter of yours did reach me, Thank you [...]". - Salinger's letter is accompanied by the correspondent's original query to the publishing house, Little, Brown and Co. about whether the author is still alive. A note from the publisher on the correspondent's letter indicates that the letter will be forwarded to Salinger. Consequently, Salinger writes the letter offered here. - Known as a recluse, Salinger's hand written letters are scarce.
