The author J D Salinger died today at the age of 91. It's well documented that he lived much of his life as a recluse and wouldn't speak to the media. He was also known for ignoring fan mail telling an agent not to pass any on to him.
Salinger hasn't had any work published since 1965 but will always be famous for A Catcher In The Rye.
A former partner of his said today that while she was with him he continued to write. This could mean that there is work of his that has yet to see the light of day and if there is then it would be interesting to see.
Salinger was brought back in to the spotlight last year after a writer tried to publish a sequel to Catcher. The book wasn't authorised and Salinger was forced to take legal action to stop the books release.
Although he is best known for one book he also wrote Franny and Zooey and Raise High the Roof Beam. Two books containing short stories, one called Nine Stories and the other called For Esme are also available.
