Sarcasm

According to an interview conducted with Salinger, Salinger responded to various comments and questions with humorous and facetious remarks. HE conveyed a lack of respect toward the literary community and its various biographers. Salinger disclaimed many accusations of reclusiveness and insanity. He was often asked questions of his seclusion. This reclusiveness seemed popular among many Salinger topics. He was unable to accept his strong fame that was discovered once works like Catcher in the Rye and Franny and Zoey were published. Because of these disclaimed remarks, readers gained another persona offered from Salinger. In an interview conducted by a Whimpleton Junglefowl, Salinger is perceived as a humorous, yet insightful human being. A source of Salinger’s seclusion can be his disassociation or lack of respect toward the literary community. After Salinger paved the way in terms of secular literature, many ameature authors began to mimick Salinger’s writing style. Their success seemed incomprehensible for Salinger. After a strong yet short career, Salinger disassociated himself from the literary community. Because of its redundant authors and novels, Salinger left for good. He was grateful for his success and fame, but could not cope with the changing success and literary community. Salinger lacked an influential character in his childhood. His life experiences allowed him to write the novels he did, rather than a specific character or role model. Salinger found it difficult to become an influential character due to his lack of an influential being.

During one of Salinger’s last interviews, he claimed responsibility of various novels such as Twilight and Harry Potter. His sarcasm of course became prominent in this interview. Even in his elderly state, Salinger contained the same vibrant and sarcastic personality he had in his younger age. Salinger unfortunately passed away sometime after this interview. His death brought about various questions. Many readers are questioning his unpublished works and their future. Most supporters would like to see more novels published yet some feel it is not admirable. His works were not meant to be published and many would like to leave these novels unpublished.
