Yesterday, at the age of 91 years, died on writer Jerome David Salinger. Died, apparently, cause you want as a first-bound his stories, stolen and illegally published in 1974: "I wrote them for a while now, and had no intention of publishing them. I would die of natural death," he said in relation to them, one of the rare interviews he gave in his life . After the great success of his novel "The Catcher in the Rye" (The Catcher in the Rye) Salinger decided to depart public life in 1951, celebrity shunned, avoided at all costs to be interviewed and photographed ( one of his last pictures shown to hit the photographer, or about to make a sign obscene) and, if said write much, for himself and for pleasure-published rather little, almost nothing. "I consider subversive enough that the feeling of anonymity-obscurity are the second most valuable property that a writer may have in their working years, he had written. I do not know if you specified what would be the first the fact is that all this did nothing but books surrounding a mystique that helped settled his reputation as a secret writer, author of worship (at the time in which, unlike now-not everything was an object of worship). Given the profile with the protagonists of their stories: young people living "on edge" of society and its margins, the adult world and children, of sanity and insanity, his work did not escape the tri (s) structure-tion from the jaws of "applied psychoanalysis" (the curious, take a look here , the morbid here.) More interesting is to note, for example, that "The Catcher in the Rye" did not leave indifferent a reader as Anna Freud , And that the presence of psychoanalysis (or what he meant by that) left a mark not negligible, even a significant imprint (as the JD Salinger made it clear it) in the works of this American writer. In his novel Franny & Zooey copy the following quote:
I do not know, "said [Zooey] -. I think there must be a psychoanalyst hidden somewhere that could help Franny ... I thought last night, made a slight grimace. But I do not know any. For a psychoanalyst would do any good to Franny, should be a very special kind. I do not know. Would believe that if he had the inspiration to study psychoanalysis was by the grace of God. Have to believe if you do not hit a damn truck before he obtained his license to practice, was by the grace of God. Would have to believe that if you have the natural intelligence that allows something to help their patients is cursed by the grace of God. Do not know any good analyst who thinks anything. But that's the only kind of psychoanalyst who could serve Franny. If you give someone terribly Freudian, or terribly eclectic, or just terribly mediocre, someone he did not feel an absurd and mysterious gratitude for having insight and understanding ... of analysis will in worse shape than Seymour. I'm worried think horrors that ...
