I have to say, I thought it was a load of old crap.

Bummer
One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, yet apart from some stories that only appeared in magazines, his only published works are one novel (The Catcher in the Rye), a volume of short stories (For Esmé With Love and Squalor), and two volumes each containing two long-short stories (Franny and Zooey and Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters/Seymour: An Introduction), after which he retreated from the public gaze and ceased publishing except for one further story for The New Yorker.
A photographer got a shot of him entering a New York restaurant in, IIRC, the late Seventies or early Eighties; he looks thoroughly disgusted at being caught on camera

Read it when I was at school (about 10 years ago) but can't remember a single thing about it. Was it the one where a toilet breaks and a women gets poo on her head?

For those of you who haven't come across Catcher in the Rye, it was an American classic.
