J. D. Salinger archive -- Contrariwise: Literary Tattoos


Salinger passed. I wrote this on facebook earlier:

.... I heard it from you first before work. A sad day in the book world - I was the only one in the megabookstore who seemed aware today of his or of Howard Zinn's passing - made it all the sadder, but ironic and fitting at the same time.

"People never notice anything."

I mentioned it to my son when I got home and he asked if it "was a big day of mourning, all sad in the bookstore..."....

"hrmphf. no."
