The author of The Catcher in the Rye died of natural causes, his literary representative has said. Salinger was famously reclusive, and his fans hoped for decades that stores of unpublished fiction might be stashed in his New Hampshire home. His last published work was a short story that took up almost the whole New Yorker magazine in 1965.
