Laugh, that article is great.  I was actually shocked to find out that he
was still alive... and only really noticed because of the article about him
suing the people for writing a "loose sequel" to Catcher in the Rye (
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/may/14/catcher-in-the-rye-sequel), and
the rumors of him filling a vault of unpublished manuscripts, only to be
published after his death.

But, thanks for the Onion link.  I always appreciate their work.
