Searching for JD Salinger: A Writer's New Hampshire Quest
29.01.10
A year ago, while reporting a story on the conman Clark Rockefeller — a psychotic German who posed as a son of the dynasty before he kidnapped his daughter in Boston, and is now a “person of interest” in the disappearance of a California couple — I visited the town of Cornish, New Hampshire. It’s a place out of a fairy tale, a beautiful New England town unmarred by even a restaurant or gas station, and over the course of a couple days I met some of its more fascinating inhabitants, like a whiskey-drinking family of selectmen who were their way to a pre-1840 reenaction in Florida. (By day, they ran a tannery in town, and dropped some knowledge that I likely would have gone through life without knowing had I not made their acquaintance: “Every animal is born with enough brains in their heads to tan their hides.”) But the person I really wanted to meet was the town recluse, the 90-year-old who had barely left his home on one of the town’s highest peaks for more than half a century: J.D. Salinger.
