You can tell a lot about a man by his balls. If a man has two healthy balls, he’s all robust and manly and world-take-over-y. If he has only one, he is a half-man, like the half man on Two and a Half Men. But rather than star on the world’s shittiest television show, one famous one balled half man opted to withdraw from society. That man was none other than JD Salinger.
A new biography of the reclusive author entitled Salinger is scheduled to drop this week (biographies “drop,” right?), and in the lead up to the book’s release, we’re learning all sorts of tantalizing new details about the life of the guy who wrote that book that turned you into a real asshole for about 3 weeks when you were 15. No, not The Fountainhead. The other one.
