“If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.”

goodbye, mr. salinger. thanks for making it ok to be a recluse. and i’m sorry we didn’t have room to run your obit.
