Sure, you passed away yesterday, but that doesn’t mean we can’t purchase a pint in your honor. As almost the entire general public knows, you wrote Catcher in the Rye, a couple other works, then disappeared into seclusion. You spent the last 50 years of your life at your Cornish, N.H. house. The entire story is amazing, one worth writing in a book sometime. Too bad you won’t be here to pen it for us. Not that you would anyway.
