I know his daughter, who is a friend of my mother.
"Salinger's alleged adoration of children apparently did not extend to his own. In 2000, daughter Margaret Salinger's "Dreamcatcher" portrayed the writer as an unpleasant recluse who drank his own urine and spoke in tongues. "
i wonder whos gonna profit from all his unpublished writings. He's been living like a recluse for years refusing to do interviews / publish any new work etc...
He probably stopped writing, dude was crazy, I knew friends who said they were on his land by accident and he came out of no where with a shotgun yelling at them.
