Jerome David Salinger was a prominent American author recognized for his 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye, focusing on themes of adolescent alienation and loss of innocence. Following his service in World War II, he received critical acclaim for his short stories, particularly “A Perfect Day for Bananafish.” Salinger’s subsequent works, such as Nine Stories and Franny and Zooey, delved into themes of alienation and spirituality. He became reclusive as a result of unwanted attention and legal disputes, with his final published work being the novella Hapworth 16, 1924 in 1965.
