RIP: JD Salinger


I started reading JD Salinger as a teenager for high school English.

Then, I moved to NY and I realized the Fanny and Zooey typify life as kids and family in New York. I always felt like the movie the Royal Tannenbaums channeled how JD would have seen life as a movie. Kind of quirky, kind of cool, but also very dysfunctional.

Catcher In The Rye was the quintessential book of disassociation, but I highly encourage you to read all of his work.

You will be missed.
