【题目】 This year, the world celebrates the anniversary of the birth of a great US author, J.D. Salinger (1919- 2010). Salinger was one of the most influential authors of the last century. His writing is popular among all age groups, young people are especially big fans of his.

The reason he has such a following is due to his novel The Catcher in the Rye (1951《麦田里的守望者》). The hero and narrator(叙述人) of this story is named Holden Caulfield. Holden is a troublemaker at school and has difficulty getting on with others, whether they are adults or people his own age.

However, Holden has a heart of gold. Many readers have been moved by the protective attitude he has toward young children, especially to his little sister Phoebe. Millions of people all over the world have taken the troubled 17-year-old Holden into their hearts.

Salinger didn’t actually write all that much over the course of his life. Apart from The Catcher in the Rye, he published a few other shorter works, and after 1965, nothing at all. The reason for this seems to be that he hated publicity (公众的注意). He had become famous with the success of his novel and didn’t care for the fame. He refused to give interviews and did not allow anyone to write his biography. He came to hate publicity so much that he stopped publishing his writing altogether.

But Salinger still kept on writing. It’s said that he wrote eight other novels. Fans of his work hope that one day they will be able to read these “lost” Salinger books.
