Considered one of the most important fiction writers of the twentieth century, Salinger’s enduring classic, The Catcher in the Rye, written in 1951, is still read in classrooms throughout the country. Though one of the most widely read writers, he is also one of the most mysterious; very little is known about his private life. This superb title, which includes a biographical timeline, and an interview with the author, is a must-read for literature fans.
