The reclusive author’s New Hampshire former home is being offered as a workspace for young artists after it was bought by illustrator Harry Bliss
Fans of the reclusive author JD Salinger, who also happen to have a penchant for art – and and four-wheel drives – are in for a treat as the former home of the late Catcher in the Rye author is to be opened up for a cartoonist residency.
Salinger moved to Cornish, New Hampshire, in 1953, two years after The Catcher in the Rye was published and the same year he released Nine Stories. After the publication of Hapworth 16, 1924 in 1965, he would publish no more novels, withdrawing from public life and dying in 2010. The novelist’s first home in Cornish was bought this summer by the cartoonist Harry Bliss, who has worked with the Centre for Cartoon Studies to set up the residency.
