J.D. Salinger, the enigmatic author of The Catcher in the Rye, is one of the most fascinating figures in modern American literature. Born in 1919 in New York City, Salinger’s formative years, military service, and reclusive lifestyle shaped his unique voice as a writer. This biography explores his rise to fame with The Catcher in the Rye, a novel that captured the disillusionment of youth and became a cultural phenomenon. Despite his literary success, Salinger withdrew from public life, focusing on his craft and personal spirituality.
