J. D. Salinger’s Son Upset Over Posting of Father’s Memorabilia

This is basically a nothing story. However, I think it goes without saying that in any Universe where Captain America and Holden Caulfield coexist, I’ll be the guy scalping tickets in the parking lot.

A friend teaches English at a Catholic high school in Chicago and he just told me a week or so ago that his kids are convinced there must be a film version of Catcher in the Rye out there somewhere—he’s just discouraging them from looking for it because he doesn’t want them to skip reading the book. Which of course he doesn’t—but don’t these youngsters know how to use google, imdb, etc.?

Dear son of J. D. Salinger,

    Your father’s novel The Catcher In The Rye is an overrated piece of overwrought crap.  If I wanted to listen to a teenager whine, I’d hang out in front of the Gas and Sip everyday before and after school.  I feel sorry for those taking Lit classes who are forced to read that pile of shit.  They’d be better off reading Penthouse Letters.

              Yours truly, someone who would like the two weeks it took to read that garbage back.
