Can someone tell me about JD Salinger and why people call him crazy!.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Salinger is an amazing writer, but he's an incredibly private man!. He has stayed out of the public image for the past four decades or so, because he is someone who cherishes his privacy!. The article below reminisces on the importance of The Catcher in the Rye, and I don't think most anyone could explain it better!.

If you like Salinger's work, then you must, must, must read Franny & Zooey!. I wholeheartedly suggest that you read everything this man has ever published, but especially that book!. It's intriguing and draws you into the world of the Glass family!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
