      by Mieko Lindeman July 06, 2005
      Waiting for “The Catcher in the Rye” movie? It’s probably never going to happen…read on to find out why and how you can satiate your appetite for Salinger in film. Many popular novels and comic books have been turned into movies, but The Catcher in the Rye author J.D. Salinger holds out against this convention, refusing to let his stories be adapted for the big screen. It’s fairly well known that author J.D Salinger vehemently believes in the artistic control of his works and the privacy of his life. He is an elusive public figure whose reclusive lifestyle has become legendary. Despite incredible literary success and widespread popularity, or more likely because of it, the author moved to quiet Cornish, New Hampshire in the 1970s and did not publish any new works after 1965. "A writer's feelings of anonymity-obscurity are the second most valuable property on loan to him," he has said. Salinger has attempted (half-successfully) to discourage the discussion of his personal life, legally acting against the publishing of his personal correspondence with friends and family as well as declining most interviews with the media, and at best releasing sparsely worded replies to even The New York Times.
      Salinger and Hollywood
      In 1948, a film adaptation of his short story “Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut” angered Salinger so much that he refused to ever work with Hollywood again. It is rumored that he even had the barring of giving movie rights to anyone for his stories written into his last will and testament as a result of this incident. Unauthorized films have listed Salinger’s novels as part of their writing, but these films are all obscure, foreign productions (an Iranian full length film based on

    J(erome D(avid) Salinger (1919-) American novelist and short story writer. Salinger published one novel and several short story collections between 1948-59. His best-known work is THE CATCHER IN THE RYE (1951), a story about a rebellious teenage schoolboy and his quixotic experiences in New York. "What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though." (Holden Caulfied in The Catcher in the Rye J.D. Salinger was born and grew up in the fashionable apartment district of Manhattan, New York. He was the son of a prosperous Jewish importer of Kosher cheese and his Scotch-Irish wife. In his childhood the young Jerome was called Sonny. The family had a beautiful apartment on Park Avenue. After restless studies in prep schools, he was sent to Valley Forge Military Academy (1934-36), which he attended briefly. His friends from this period remember his sarcastic wit. In 1937 when he was eighteen and nineteen, Salinger spent five months in Europe. From 1937 to 1938 he studied at Ursinus College and New York University. He fell in love with Oona O'Neill, wrote her letters almost daily, and was later shocked when she married Charles Chaplin, who was much older than she.

    J.D. Salinger ...What gets me about D.B., though, he hated the war so much, and yet he got me to read this book A Farewell to Arms last summer. He said it was so terrific. That's what I can't understand. It had this guy in it named Lieutenant Henry that was supposed to be a nice guy and all. I don't see how D.B. could hate the Army and war and all so much and still like a phony like that. I mean, for instance, I don't see how he could like a phony like that and still like that one by Ring Lardner, or that other one he's so crazy about, The Great Gatsby . D.B. got sore when I said that, and said I was too young and all to appreciate it, but I don't think so. I told him I liked Ring Lardner and The Great Gatsby and all. I did, too. I was crazy about The Great Gatsby . Old Gatsby. Old sport. That killed me. Anyway, I'm sort of glad they've got the atomic bomb invented. If there's ever another war, I'm going to sit right the hell on top of it. I'll volunteer for it, I swear to God I will. The Catcher in the Rye

    Executive summary: Catcher in the Rye Military service: US Army Signal and Counter Intelligence Corps, WWII J.D. Salinger's father was Jewish importer of hams, but his mother was Catholic. Both sets of in-laws reportedly disapproved of the marriage, and J.D.'s father seems to have generally disapproved of his son. The feeling was mutual; J.D. skipped his father's funeral and later stopped eating meat. After being booted from at least one private high school, young J.D. or "Sonny", as his father called him was sent to Valley Forge Military Academy in Pennsylvania, which was later the inspiration for Pencey Prep in Salinger's Catcher in the Rye . After high school, Salinger was drafted into the Army, and fought in the bloody Battle of Normandy. Catcher in the Rye , Salinger's first and only known novel, took him ten years to write, and became an instant hit when the Book-of-the-Month Club chose it as their main selection in 1951. It has never gone out of print, and as the novel's popularity grew its author became more and more reclusive. He reportedly still writes, but only for himself, not for publication.

    Biography of J.D. Salinger (1919-)
    J.D. Salinger Salinger received major critical and popular recognition with The Catcher in the Rye (1951), the story of Holden Caulfield, a rebellious boarding school student who attempts to run away from the adult world that he finds "phony." In many ways reminiscent of Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Salinger's novel finds great sympathy for its wayward child protagonist. Salinger's only novel drew from characters he had already created in two short stories published in 1945 and 1946, "This Sandwich Has No Mayonnaise" and "I'm Crazy." The latter story is an alternate take on several of the chapters in The Catcher in the Rye Salinger followed The Catcher in the Rye with Nine Stories (1953), a selection of his best literary work, and Franny and Zooey in 1961, which draws from two earlier stories in The New Yorker. In 1963 he published several of his short stories as a novel, Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction

    J D Salinger: A glimpse inside the life of a recluse

    A young Salinger, pictured with sister Doris (Photo: Katherine Huber)
    By BBC News Online's Giles Wilson Pity the poor celebrity. They fight and struggle from childhood to fulfil their destiny, to become famous. And then what do they find? The streets become a prison. They can't step outside their front door without finding themselves in the next day's papers. The ever-watchful eyes of the paparazzi And if the paparazzi don't get them, the stalkers will. What's a celeb to do? Invite the photographers from Hello! magazine in, to give them a tour round their charming new home, perhaps. Or consider becoming a recluse. Not even that works, though. The very rarity of their public appearances increases the bounty on their heads. Snatched photographs become even more valuable and palatable to hungry news editors. Recluses can scarcely expect the press to be deferential towards them. Stanley Kubrick, photographed in 1975, on the set of Barry Lyndon

    Jerome David Salinger wrote The Catcher in the Rye , the classic 20th-century novel of disaffected youth. Salinger started publishing short stories in the 1940s in magazines including the Saturday Evening Post, Colliers , and especially the New Yorker The Catcher In the Rye was published in 1951, became a best-seller and remains a favorite of high school and college students. (The book tells the tale of Holden Caulfield, a troubled adolescent who leaves his fancy prep school for an urban walkabout.) Always a private man, Salinger became increasingly reclusive throughout the 1950s and eventually stopped making public appearances or statements of any kind. He refuses requests for interviews and has not published since 1965, though he reportedly continues to write at his remote home in Cornish, New Hampshire. Extra credit : Salinger served in the U.S. Army in World War II and participated in the D-Day landings of 6 June 1944... He married Claire Douglas, a student at Radcliffe, in 1955. They had two children, Margaret Ann (b. 1955) and Matthew (b. 1960), and were divorced in 1965... Salinger had a love affair with author Joyce Maynard in the early 1970s, which Maynard described in her 1998 memoir

    The Literature Nook Presents J.D. Salinger
    J.D. Salinger was born in New York City on January 1, 1919. Salinger is known for works about sensitive, articulate young people and for his skill in capturing the quality of their colloquial urban speech. His best-known work is The Catcher in the Rye , a novel about a neurotic, perceptive adolescent who rebels against what he considers the phoniness of modern society. Told in the teenage slang pf the narrator-hero, the book is a skillful combination of humor and pathos. Since its publication, it has been the favorite of high school and college students. A strange aside to the book The Catcher in the Rye centers around the death of John Lennon . The assassin, John David Chapman, after firing several shots into John Lennon, dropped his gun and calmy took out his copy of The Catcher in the Rye , sat down on the curb, and read until the police arrived.

    J.D. Salinger's Holden Caulfield, Aging Gracelessly
    By JONATHAN YARDLEY Tuesday, October 19, 2004; Page C01 An occasional series in which The Post's book critic reconsiders notable and/or neglected books from the past. Precisely how old I was when I first read "The Catcher in the Rye," I cannot recall. When it was published, in 1951, I was 12 years old, and thus may have been a trifle young for it. Within the next two or three years, though, I was on a forced march through a couple of schools similar to Pencey Prep, from which J.D. Salinger's 16-year-old protagonist Holden Caulfield is dismissed as the novel begins, and I was an unhappy camper; what I had heard about "The Catcher in the Rye" surely convinced me that Caulfield was a kindred spirit.
    J.D. Salinger in 1951, the year "The Catcher in the Rye" was published.
