How Salinger got away with it.

By Ron Rollins | Monday, February 1, 2010, 03:21 PM

How did JD Salinger become the world’s most famous recluse?

Turns out, by not actually being all that reclusive… That, and he had help. What’s that saying, again? “It takes a village to make a recluse…”

Interesting piece on how the late author lived out his secretive life, not secretly at all, in the Times…

Anybody started re-reading “Catcher” yet?
