Words by Warren

There’s no way I’d let Salinger’s death go unnoticed in my life, so I’ve begun to read Franny and Zooey once again. Last time I read it I was but a naive college kid. Let’s see how I view it now. Not that I’m any less naive necessarily. In any case, I should read it again anyway seeing how I claim it’s my favorite book. You ever notice that though? Not in all cases but sometimes you’ll call something your favorite book or movie or song but you won’t revisit it at all. Maybe because you got sick of it.

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.
