The world lost two great writers this past weekend. J.D. Salinger, author of
Catcher in the Rye, passed away. Howard Zinn, author of
A People's History of the United States, also passed away. Salinger changed writing and people's perceptions of others around them with the legendary
Catcher. Zinn changed the way people saw history, particularly American history. Zinn wanted people to see that great changes in human history came from the bottom up, not from the top down.
The
Grand View Library has plenty of books by both authors. Come over and take a look at some of them and find out why people are mourning the losses of these two men.
