J.D. Salinger
Friday, Jan 29th, 2010 posted by Velouria
I have no way to relate this to bicycles or to anything going on at Open, but I just wanted to acknowledge that the great author J.D. Salinger has died. It is upsetting that the news of his death competed with the news of the release of the i-Pad, and then ceased altogether. But maybe that’s for the best and he would have appreciated the privacy. That is all I wanted to say really. I am sure that some of you out there can relate to my feelings of sadness over his death.
Thanks for this note, Velouria. Those of us who find great continuity between literature and the other elements of our lives, cycling included, are deeply saddened.

It’s nice too see this mentioned here. I tend to go around blind to the news and current events, so this is the first i’ve heard. You happened to picture my two favorite of his works here. I’m positive he would have appreciated quiet news of his death. Kind of a reclusive old bugger.
