EXPIRED: 01/28/10 – J.D. Salinger, 91, wrote a book about teenage angst that caused a whole lot of trouble, far more than the author ever imagined, I’m sure.
Jerome David Salinger was born on New Year’s Day in New York City. After traveling to Europe to learn the family business – importing – he took night courses to become a writer. Never graduating, he nevertheless sold his first story, “The Young Folks,” in 1940.
