This New York City author's most famous book came out in 1951. His narrator spoke in the voice of an anguished teenager, disgusted with adult hypocracy. The book was hailed (and banned in some places for bad language) as the voice of a generation. The author found the fame and attention "demoralising" and moved to New Hampshire, where he dabbled in religions and died at the age of 91. This was J.D. Salinger and his most famous book is The Catcher in the Rye.
