Farewell, Jerome David Salinger

I’ll never forget my first encounter with your work, reading Franny and Zooey in college, wondering why I had waited so long to find it. My subsequent fascination with the Glass family. My love for Holden goes without saying. And little sister Phoebe who was the only one who understood him.

You’ll always be a legend. No matter how much you didn’t want to be.

Perhaps now you’ll let us see more where that came from.
