You know, learning more about Salinger, I can understand his completely glum outlook in Catcher, and his own later life. Y'know he lost half his company at D-Day and liberated the infamous Dachau concentration camp?

I'm just sayin', I think he should have been in Shudder Island. But Godspeed in whatever you choose.

never seen the movie, cause i haven't had the chance, not cause i don't want to. lol

he need not be condemned to an island when he choose to do so himself. he also choose to keep his work to himself. he didn't try to impose his views on anyone or anything of the sort. you know so much of him cause of your own free will, like many... and all he ever really wanted when he was alive was to left alone.

a crazy man doesn't know he's crazy and tries to be normal... and a person can do seemingly crazy things, until he explains himself and then you realize he's genius. but sal never was the kind of guy to answer questions about his work or his life.
