CORNISH, NH - In this big dramatic production that didn't do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D. Salinger, who was 91 years old for crying out loud. "He had a real impact on the literary world and on millions of readers," said hot-shot English professor David Clarke, who is just like the rest of them, and even works at one of those crumby schools that rich people send their kids to so they don't have to look at them for four years.

Never did get the appeal or the supposed talent of this writer. He and Jack Kerouac, another writer who treated women like dirt in his real life, helped change society for the worse which I suppose is their appeal to intellectuals. Then they wonder why all their first-year students can't read or write properly after schools no longer have any discipline or structure.
