J.D Salinger has passed away at the age of 91 and his book was like a rite of passage for all teens.I recalled reading it in an undergraduate course at Gannon University a few months after I had exited the novitiate at the Abbey of Gethsemani where Thomas Merton was my novice master and where Dan and Phil Berrigan became instrunental in securing a scholarship for me to Gannon.I found some degree of commonality between JD and Thomas Merton.They were both into Zen and silence was like gold to both of those dudes. Salinger's work has elements of both semantic and episodic memories.Would like to hear what other tipsters have to say of the Catcher and his other works.I have not seen Salinger's as recommended extra reading for any courses in psychology course.Could he be relevant for Adolescence Psychology ,Marriage and the Glass familiy,and Death and dying (Franny and Zooey)?
Btw,what is it about New Hampshire that attracts certain remarkable figures like John Kulig,Beth Benoit,David Souter,and JD Salinger? JD,gone but not forgotten.
