J.D. Saligner

     J.D. Salinger has to be one of my favorite authors of all time. His writing style never ceases to captivate me and his characters feel like they could walk off the page, continuing their conversation in my living room. 
     Below is a letter I came across on the internet, it is written to a Mr. Herbert, who has proposed to turn The Catcher in the Rye into film. 
    His response illustrates beautifully the realness of the characters. It's almost as if Holden Caulfield is so real that no actor could ever portray him accurately. 

Enjoy
