Brilliant, reclusive author JD Salinger whose work, Catcher in the Rye affected generations across the world passed away yesterday at 91 years old in his home in New England.

Much about Salinger is a mystery, but what is known is his massive talent which has been and surely will remain, missed since he put his pen away years ago.

Rest in peace Mr. Salinger, may you find the peace that seemed to elude you here.

Side note: I think Bret Easton Ellis has effectively cured me of any desire to read any of his work ever again with his lovely Tweet regarding Salinger's death.
