The J.D. Salinger legend lives on. A treasure trove of rare letters, manuscripts, photos and other personal items from the reclusive author are on display in an exhibition at the New York Public Library.
It is a glimpse into the life and work of the literary icon organized by his son, Matt, and widow, Colleen, along with Declan Kiely, director of special collections and exhibitions. "The Catcher in the Rye" was published in 1951 and became hugely popular, selling more than 55 million copies in 30 languages. In China, 200,000 copies are sold a day. Salinger's depiction of adolescent alienation and loss of innocence in the protagonist Holden Caulfield had an appeal among adolescent readers that continues to this day. It is required reading in high schools across the country.
