Where Did You Go JD?

When JD Salinger wrote books, he didn't write so his books would be published and he would get paid; but his reason was for himself satisfaction. He believed publishing was a "terrible invasion of my privacy".It was peaceful to him when work wasn't published.  Considering the fact that JD Salinger is one of the best authors ever, he was pushed into publishing his books. So,he stopped publishing in 1965 and giving interviews in 1980. He was betrayed by almost everyone, even close relatives; and that turned into him breaking into a public silence. Catcher in the Rye was very popular during the 1950s, but it wasn't a very positive connotation. People believed every adolescent was like that, and if they weren't; they were going to be like it. Also, the issues in the book were very potent during that time. The book is as influential as it was then. I respect JD to the fullest.
