<b>J.D. Salinger </b>(b. 1928, Chicago, IL; d. 2010, Cornish, NH) was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. His landmark novel<i> The Catcher in the Rye</i> is widely-established as a defining novel of post-WWII America and continues to sell more than 250,000 copies a year. He is also the author of the collections <i>Nine Stories, Franny and Zooey, </i> and<i> Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters</i> and <i>Seymour</i>. Though he continued to write up until his death in 2010, Salinger was fiercely reclusive and stopped publishing his work in 1965; very little of his work survives. Editor<b> David Streitfeld </b>is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who has covered books, business, and technology for the <i>Washington Post, </i>the <i>Los Angeles Times </i>and is currently a columnist for the <i>New York Times</i>, covering technology.
