Famed author J.D. Salinger died Wednesday of natural causes at his home in New Hampshire. He was 91. He wrote four acclaimed novels during the 50s and 60s including his groundbreaking piece of literature "Catcher in the Rye." "Catcher's" cardinal character Holden Caulfield has resonated with generations of misunderstood youths. Fiercely private and secluded in nature, J.D. Salinger had all but disappeared from the public eye albeit brief, unsubstantiated rumors that the author would come out of hiding to release a new novel. It never was to be. The author had broken his hip last May, but was in sterling health until he abruptly went downhill after the New Year according to a statement from the Salinger family. Salinger was a true literary master and will be missed.
