Again I ask...where is all the stuff he was writing for the last 30 years? Joyce Maynard (among others) saw him writing and locking it up every day. The publishers said it would start being released in 2015 or 2016. So far, not even a posthumous postcard. WHERE ARE MY NEW ESMES? REEEEEEEEEEE

Just finished this. Breddy gud. I just wonder why people see his horror as political allegory, but no one (that I know of) sees much of that in Lovecraft.

Catcher in the Rye is the most overrated novel in American Literature, and if it wasnt forced upon generation after generation of youth by wistful teachers longing for a "simpler" time of youth, it would be fucking nothing.
