Puppet Time (Lang. B)

Great Author. (Lang. B)

You know who was this author?
He was born on Jan. 1, 1919 in Manhattan, lived in seclusion in the small town of Cornish. N.H. for more than half a century. He was not photographed for decades.

"The Catcher in the Rye", his most famous book, caused a sensation when it was published.With its very first sentence, the book, Which came out in 1951, introduced a brand-new voice in American writing, and it quickly became a cult book, a rite of passage for the brainy and disaffected. "Nine Stories," published in 1953, made him a darling of the critics as well, for the way it dismantled the traditional architecture of the short story and replaced it with one In which a story could turn on a tiny shift of mood or tone .
This author is J. D. Salinger, the private Obsessively author who captured the hearts of several generations with his pitch-perfect knowledge of adolescence and his ear for the vernacular, died last Jan. 28.
This is unfortunate, but it's past, however we should read with pleasure his most famous book, "The Catcher in the Rye". This has made us transcend, has made us see a new culture, and in addition was made by the best English-language author ever existed, in my view.
J. D. Salinger, rest in peace.
