If you haven't read "The Catcher in the Rye", this is the right time to do it. The death of JD Salinger is a sad moment for literature. The novel, a tale of a rebellious and lonely teenager who has been expelled from school for his poor grades, published in 1951, has sold over 60 million copies and sells thousands every year.The novel is very controversial and has been banned in some schools because ot its bad language and antiauthoritarian stance.


The writer himself has been a mysterious individual who has lived in seclusion. What has he been doing in the last 55 years before he died? John Walsh, a journalist who works for The Independent, and many like him, wonder whether there's more writing in the drawer that might have been written while he was withdrawn from the world.

Meet Holden Caufield, the protagonist, and you will understand why 
Salinger's voice is so powerful.
