I love this pic of JD Salinger.
Like most of us I loved
Catcher in the Rye. I doubt that there's a teen in America (possibly most of the World) that can't relate.
There's so much of Salinger in that work, in all of his work, really.
I love this picture because he looks hurt, paranoid, scared and a little bit angry. Which pretty much sums up his work and his entire recluse nature.
Rest in peace JD. I'd say you'll be missed but you already removed yourself from society to the point that most people probably thought you were already dead. Even those of us that knew you were alive had no hope of you turning out any extra work. In fact many people are speculating at the body of work that might be discovered postmortem.

I'm now going to re-read
Catcher in the Rye and be glad that you don't have to witness the ensuing circus that is sure to follow over your estate.
