J.D. Salinger's powerful fiction and enigmatic persona have captivated readers for more than 50 years. His works include "Nine Stories"; "Raise High the Roof Beam"; "Carpenters"; and "Franny and Zooey", but Salinger's literary reputation rests on his coming-of-age masterpiece, "The Catcher in the Rye".
