JD Salinger blog #3

JD Salinger was born on January 1, 1919 and died January 27, 2010. Salinger lived in New York with his two siblings and his parents. One of Salinger's most famous works was Catcher in the Rye. Salinger attended many schools such as Valley Forge, New York University, Ursinus University, and Columbia University. Also had studied over seas. Salinger was drafted into the Army during World War II and during this he landed at the Normandy Invasion also known as D-Day. He still managed to write during the war. After the war Salinger was hospitalized after having a nervous breakdown caused by the war. Post World War II "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" was published. It was originally published on January 31, 1948. It's a part of Salinger's Nine Stories Collection. At first Salinger titled it "The Bananafish" but most people did not get the point of this story and found it incomprehensible. Salinger did a complete reworking of the story adding the part about Muriel and other hints to the death at the end. Again, renamed to "A Fine Day for Bananafish". Finally it was published by The New Yorker as "A Perfect Day For Bananafish".
