New display on JD Salinger

As you may have heard, JD Salinger passed away last week at the age of 91. He was one of the last WWII era American authors still living, and was likely best known for his iconic novel of teenage angst The Catcher in the Rye. The popularity and notoriety that came from the success of Catcher sent Salinger into hiding in Cornish, NH for the remainder of his life. Many have speculated on whether Salinger continued to write in seclusion, and await to hear if any such writings will be published.

In the meantime, you can check out the latest display at the library! We have several books on Salinger's writing, short stories of his, and SU's own John Wenke's criticism/interpretation of Salinger: J.D. Salinger : a study of the short fiction.
