Two Literary Giants are Dead

RIP Howard Zinn and J.D. Salinger. They lived long lives, but they will still be greatly missed and mourned. Two writers who had a huge influence on me in very different ways.

What a depressing couple of days.

By the way, the New Yorker has made all Salinger’s  stories published there available here. I’ll probably spend some time there tonight, reading and rereading.
