J.D. Salinger
Jerome David Salinger was born January first 1919 in New York, New York,
United States. Being a diligent student was never his first priority. After he
flunked out of several prep schools, including a prestigious McBurney School,
his parents sent him to Valley Forge Military Academy in Pennsylvania.
Life as a Kid
Salinger was the literary editor of the class yearbook. He also participated in
Glee Club, Aviation Club, French Club and the Non-Commissioner Club. His
teachers described him as a “mediocre” student and his IQ was far from
genius.
Family
J.D. had a mixed parentage, his father was Jewish and his mother was ScottishIrish, he also had an older sister. His sister, Doris, eight years older. Salinger's
father, a successful importer of meats and cheeses, was Jewish, his mother
Scotch-Irish. Like most of Salinger's central characters, the family lived in the
relative comfort of the upper-middle class.

Interesting Facts
Of his writings, J.D. Salinger has so far wished to preserve
only a novel and thirteen short stories, all published between
1948 and 1959, mostly in the New Yorker. Despite this limited
body of work, Salinger was, at least between 1951 and 1963,
the most popular American fiction writer among serious
young persons and many alienated adults because of the way
in which he served as a spokesman for the feelings of his
generation.
He wasn’t much of a student after flunking out of the Mc
Burney school near his home in New York's upper west side.
He was shipped off by his parents to Valley Forge Military
School.
Interesting facts
It was not until he took a short story course at Columbia University that Salinger officially launched his literary
career. His teacher, Whit Burnett, was the founder and editor of Story magazine, which gave a headstart to a
number of mid-century fiction writers.
Being a diligent student was never his first priority:. (Many people believe he modeled Pencey Prep, the fictional
school attended by Caulfield, after Valley Forge.) He briefly attended Ursinus College, also in Pennsylvania, and New
York University, where he stayed one month.

New York. Despite his slim body of work and reclusive lifestyle, Salinger was
one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century.
Salinger was the youngest of two children born to Sol Salinger, the son of a
rabbi who ran a thriving cheese and ham import business
He was not a good student, he was taken out of McBurney school and sent to
Valley Forge Military Academy, where he soon began prep for The Catcher in

“Salinger began writing stories at school in the mid-1930s, but none of those
written before 1939 are known to exist now.
He has achieved more popularity than any other writer since World War ll.
“ His father, a prosperous importer, sent Salinger to Austria and Poland to
learn the business in 1937”. He returned in 1938, where he went to Ursinus
College where he only spent one semester.

Despite his slim body of work and reclusive lifestyle, Salinger was one of the
most influential American writers of the 20th century.
When Salinger returned to New York in 1946, he quickly set about resuming
his life as a writer and soon found his work published in his favorite magazine,
The New Yorker. He also continued to push on with the work on his novel.
Finally, in 1951, The Catcher in the Rye was published.

★ The Catcher in the Rye
“A high school in Tulsa, Okla., fired an English teacher for assigning the book to an
11th-grade class. While the teacher later won his appeal, the book remained off
the required reading list.”
“One library banned it for violating codes on ‘excess vulgar language, sexual
scenes, things concerning moral issues, excessive violence and anything dealing
with the occult.’”
“Some of my best friends are children. In fact, all my best friends are children. It’s
almost unbearable for me to realize that my book will be kept on a shelf out of
their reach.” ~ J. D. Salinger

● Salinger died in 2010 at age 91 in Cornish
New Hampshire. And although he stopped
publishing decades before his death, he
apparently continued to write, and rumors

catcher in the rye but when he died he had
