His most famous work, The Catcher in the Rye, was
partially published in serial form in 1945–1946 and as a novel in 1951. It was an immediate popular success and has since then been consistently rated as one of the greatest novels of the 20th century. However, the success of “The Catcher” made Salinger reclusive due to the unwanted attention and scrutiny. He followed the novel with a collection of short stories titled Nine Stories (1953), which was critically acclaimed and helped shape writers like Philip Roth, John Updike and Harold Brodkey. The last work Salinger published during his lifetime was a novella titled Hapworth 16, 1924, which appeared in The New Yorker in 1965.
