Abstract:
Modern universal literature is so vast that it can take more lifetimes to cover in-depth studies and
research into the uniqueness of each of the leading figures in the field. Nevertheless, due to dedicated
biographers and their work we can now look at the deeper (inter)connections between a writer’s literary
creations and their private or personal experiences, which in the end complete the whole picture and, which, put
together, offer the satisfaction of looking at the solved puzzle and understanding each piece better as it becomes
integrated into the final image. This article tries to approach this type of overview on the whole literary career
of a very influential 20th century American writer: J. D. Salinger.
