"In 1974 Philip Roth wrote, 'The response of college students to the work of J. D. Salinger indicates that he, more than anyone else, has not turned his back on the times but, instead, has managed to put his finger on whatever struggle of significance is going on today between self and culture.'"
Charles McGrath in The New York Times writes an obituary for J. D. Salinger.
