More Salinger

In 1980 a reporter, Betty Eppes, conducted a rare interview with Salinger.

In the interview he said: "I refuse to publish. There's a marvelous peace in not publishing. There's a stillness. When you publish, the world thinks you owe something. If you don't publish, they don't know what you're doing. You can keep it for yourself."

Salinger's last published work was a short story that ran in The New Yorker in 1965.

He went 45 years without publishing. Do you think he stopped writing? I don't.
