JD Salinger’s House, New Hampshire

The famously reclusive writer, J. D. Salinger, lived much of his life in Cornish, New Hampshire, first moving to this house in 1953, two years after publishing “The Catcher in the Rye.” He wrote much of his following works here, until he stopped publishing in 1965. In 1967 he and his wife divorced. She stayed in this house (until 1983), and he moved to a house nearby, where he lived until he died in 2010. This first house was purchased in 2016 by the New Yorker cartoonist and illustrator Harry Bliss, who operates a small residence fellowship program for cartoonists there, associated with White River Junction’s Center for Cartoon Studies.
