JD Salinger dead
I don’t even know what to say about this – I don’t really want to say anything about it, actually (he’d been dead to the world for so long that it’s like hearing a myth died) – except that my selfish half-to-whole is really hoping there’s no deadhand control keeping me from reading the stockpile [...]
