J. D. Salinger
J D Salinger was born in 1919 and died in January 2010. He grew up in New York City and wrote short stories from an early age, but his breakthrough came in 1948 with the publication in The New Yorker of 'A Perfect Day for Bananafish'. The Catcher in the Rye was his first and only novel, published in 1951. It remains one of the most translated, taught and reprinted texts, and has sold some 65 million copies. It was followed by three other books of short stories and novellas: Franny and Zooey; For Esme with Love and Squalor; and Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters/ Seymour – an Introduction. All four of Salinger's books are published by Penguin.
