Jerome David Salinger (/ˈsælɪndʒər/; January 1, 1919 – January 27, 2010) was an American writer known for his widely-read novel The Catcher in the Rye. Following his early success publishing short stories and The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger led a very private life for more than a half-century. He published his final original work in 1965 and gave his last interview in 1980.
Salinger was raised in Manhattan and began writing short stories while in secondary school. Several were published in Story magazine[1] in the early 1940s before he began serving in World War II. In 1948, his critically acclaimed story "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" appeared in The New Yorker magazine, which became home to much of his later work. The Catcher in the Rye was published in 1951 and became an immediate popular success. His depiction of adolescent alienation and loss of innocence in the protagonist Holden Caulfield was influential, especially among adolescent readers.[2] The novel remains widely read and controversial,[a] selling around 250,000 copies a year.
The success of The Catcher in the Rye led to public attention and scrutiny. Salinger became reclusive, publishing new work less frequently. He followed Catcher with a short story collection, Nine Stories (1953); a volume containing a novella and a short story, Franny and Zooey (1961); and a volume containing two novellas, Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction (1963). His last published work, a novella entitled "Hapworth 16, 1924", appeared in The New Yorker on June 19, 1965. Afterward, Salinger struggled with unwanted attention, including a legal battle in the 1980s with biographer Ian Hamilton and the release in the late 1990s of memoirs written by two people close to him: Joyce Maynard, an ex-lover; and Margaret Salinger, his daughter. In 1996, a small publisher announced a deal with Salinger to publish "Hapworth 16, 1924" in book form, but amid the ensuing publicity the release was indefinitely delayed.[3][4] He made headlines around the globe in June 2009 when he filed a lawsuit against another writer for copyright infringement resulting from that writer's use of one of the characters from The Catcher in the Rye.[5]
Salinger died of natural causes on January 27, 2010, at his home in Cornish, New Hampshire.[6][7][8] In November 2013, three unpublished stories by Salinger were briefly posted online. One of the stories, "The Ocean Full of Bowling Balls", is said to be a prequel to The Catcher in the Rye.
J. D. Salinger wrote one of the most famous books ever written, The Catcher in the Rye. Salinger wrote many stories and, in 1941, after several rejections, Salinger finally cracked The New Yorker, with a story, "Slight Rebellion Off Madison," that was an early sketch of what became a scene in "The Catcher in the Rye." The magazine then had second thoughts in part because of World War II in which Salinger was in combat, and held the story for five years before finally publishing it in 1946, buried in the back of an issue. Everyone was surprised when the story and the book that followed it became a bit hit. Even today nobody can really explain why Catcher in the Rye is so famous and so popular. Yet, millions have been sold and are still being sold even though only available as used books nowadays. When The Catcher in the Rye was published in 1951, it was registered for copyright as "additional material." This obviously referred to the earlier work "Slight Rebellion Off Madison." The copyright page on "The Catcher in the Rye" states "Copyright 1945, 1946, 1951 by J. D Salinger." The date of 1945 obviously refers to the publication of "I'm Crazy," a short story written by Salinger and published in the December 22, 1945 issue of Collier's magazine that first introduced the character Holden Caulfield to the reading public. Salinger later reworked this short story to incorporate it into The Catcher in the Rye. The two earlier stories are "I'm Crazy," an early version of Holden's departure from prep school that later shows up in The Catcher in the Rye. With minor alteration, much of this story is familiar to readers as the chapter where Holden visits Mr. Spencer. What sets this story apart is the presence of an additional Caulfield sister and the clarity of Holden's resignation and compromise at the end. "Slight Rebellion off Madison" is an early version of another scene in The Catcher in the Rye. The story follows Holden when he is home from Pency and goes to the movies, then skating with Sally Hayes, followed by his drunken calls to her apartment late at night. An early story, it is the first of Salinger's Caulfied works to be accepted for publication.
因为豆瓣把我的一篇只有摘录的帖子给转移了,说它不是评论文章,所以担心这篇也被转移,就决定加一些话。 我读塞林格最大的一个感受其实是,慢。这样说似乎很奇怪,因为这就像在说侯孝贤一样。然而塞林格的确是慢的,一本《麦田里的守望者》,经历的时间不过是三天,包括《九故...
评分今天早上起来上网看到塞林格去世的消息,便在“豆瓣我说”上说了这样一段话:早上打开电脑上网才知道塞林格去世了,恰巧电脑边摆着的书就是《麦田里的守望者》,这本书我已经反反复复读了十几遍了,相信以后还会一遍一遍地读下去。塞林格去了天堂就不用在悬崖边守望了吧,因为...
评分我17岁的时候看的这本书,那时自己还是个青少年,觉得和周围的世界隔着一道鸿沟,是霍尔顿的游荡让我找到了精神上发泄愤怒的出口,为那些难以捉摸的情绪找到了具体的依附。如今纯真已逝,才猛然惊醒,原来塞林格他真正要说的东西不在这里。 还记得施咸荣的译序写道,这本小说...
评分 评分大学之前我一直自诩好孩子,非常非常不喜欢霍尔顿,或者说,不喜欢他满嘴脏话的样子。相信一些女生也是讨厌这样坏坏的男孩子的,在校园里遇见了,会躲着走。可是现在不同了,现在我一想起他的样子,就会会心一笑,虽然我并没有见过他。但书里说了,霍尔顿顶着一头乱乱的褐色...
黑色幽默,好几次让我打心底地笑个不停。愤世嫉俗,叛逆,孤独感,觉得自己要的其实很简单但没人能够给——我们心里永远都住着这样的一个16岁少年。
评分时隔六七年,我又看了《麦田守望者》。当时我的心境跟Holden如出一辙。
评分好看。
评分黑色幽默,好几次让我打心底地笑个不停。愤世嫉俗,叛逆,孤独感,觉得自己要的其实很简单但没人能够给——我们心里永远都住着这样的一个16岁少年。
评分已读2遍或3遍,或许还会读4遍,5遍……塞林格的语感,让人心向往之。
