Jerome David Salinger  Jerome David Salinger  (January 1, 1919 – January 27, 2010) was an American writer, best known for his 1951 novel ”The Catcher in the Rye”.

In 1951, Salinger's first novel, The Catcher in the Rye, was published. It became an immediate popular success. Salinger died at his home in Cornish, New Hampshire of natural causes on January 27, 2010.

Salinger did not like publicity: He never published an original work after 1965 and was never interviewed after 1980. In fact, he told his agent to burn any mail that fans sent him. He also did not want his photograph on the jacket of his books. Salinger did not like publicity: He never published an original work after 1965 and was never interviewed after 1980.

On November 28, 2013, scans of three unpublished Salinger stories were uploaded to the Internet. It was done by a user of What.CD, an invite-only BitTorrent tracker site. The file was quickly removed by administrators of the site. It is not currently clear how the unpublished material was uploaded, as the original sources came from two different locations (the University of Texas and Princeton). This shows that the works may have been obtained on separate occasions and then put together. Salinger's unpublished works quickly spread over to open BitTorrent sites like The Pirate Bay and image-sharing sites such as Imgur. Despite What.CD's quick response, Salinger's unpublished writings will forever be available on the internet.
