Jerome · David · 塞林格是美国著名作家，他的成名作《麦田的守望者》被认为二十世纪美国文学的经典作品之一。
世界文坛巨擘罗斯、厄普代克、纳博科夫等人均是此书的忠实粉丝。
日本作家村上春树甚至亲自将《麦田里的守望者》和《弗兰妮与祖伊》译成日语，坦诚塞林格的作品对自己影响深远。
Salinger's life was both triumphant and frustrated, both beautiful and lonely.
The most difficult thing for Salinger to let go of in this life is his love affair with Una, which also made him and the comedy master Chaplin a lifelong enemy.
1919年1月1日，塞林格出生于纽约一个犹太富商家庭，优裕的家庭条件让他从小就受到了良好的教育。
可是热爱文学的塞林格一开始学习的并不是文学，而是军事。
后来，塞林格从军事学校毕业，他没有专研军事，却投入到文学创作之中。
为了可以更好的创作文学，塞林格前往纽约以撰稿为生。
在纽约期间，塞林格的大部分作品刊载在《纽约客》上。
塞林格是个天生的写作天才，他的笔触细腻敏感，他的才气动人心弦。
塞林格在23岁时已经在文化圈小有名气，在一次偶然的机会中，他拜访了当时诺贝尔文学奖得主尤金.奥尼尔。
在这次简单的拜访中，塞林格爱上了一个女孩，她是尤金的女儿乌娜.奥尼尔。
乌娜那一头漂逸的棕发，明亮的双眸，高挑的身材，优雅的谈吐让塞林格心头一颤......
塞林格在瞬间就疯狂地爱上了乌娜，他暗暗发誓此生非乌娜不娶。
作家要追求自己喜欢的女孩子，通常都会用写信的方式。
塞林格当然也不例外，他花了整整一个星期的时间，给乌娜写了一封热情洋溢的情书。
乌娜略带着兴奋与不安，看完了塞林格的情书，她被塞林格的热情所打动，答应与这个男人谈恋爱。
塞林格与乌娜谈起了恋爱，尤金对女儿的恋情也不反对。
本来不岀什么意外的话，塞林格很快就将抱得美人归。
可是，塞林格在恋爱的高潮期参军了，他离开了自己心爱的女孩。
原来是杂志编辑打来电话，说塞林格写的东西简直像狗屎，这让自视甚高的塞林格难以忍受。
为了证明自己，为了寻找灵感，塞林格决定参军。
"Love needs distance, my dear, I will write to you, I promise, one a day!"
Before leaving, Salinger asked his girlfriend Una to come and promised her to write a love letter every day to express his loyal love for his girlfriend.
Una listened quietly to Salinger, her heart full of bitterness, she had lacked fatherly love since she was a child, and she was reluctant to let her boyfriend leave her.
Sadly, Salinger didn't notice his girlfriend's grievances, believing he could grasp it.
Soon after, Salinger joined the army very dashingly, and Una looked at his back in confusion, and a faint sadness flashed in her heart.
1942年塞林格参军后，他每天都给乌娜写信，风雨无阻。
一封封信如雪片般地飞到乌娜的桌上，字字句句依然热情满满，但是乌娜没有丝毫地感动。
“你爱我，为什么还要离开我？ ”
想当初，塞林格要参军时，乌娜曾苦苦哀求，可塞林格我行我素，一意孤行。
对塞林格失望透顶的乌娜离开了曼哈顿，独自一人去了纽约。
此时，乌娜心中的理想是做一名演员，某天，在经纪人华莱士小姐的家中，她第一次见到了喜剧之王查理 · Chaplin.
卓别林年长乌娜36岁，有过三段婚姻，还有很多绯闻女友，是世人眼中的“渣男”。
乌娜对卓别林的过去并不了解，她心中的卓别林是亲切的，是和善的。
卓别林对乌娜如父如兄的体贴关怀，让乌娜感受到了从所未有的幸福。
乌娜很快就忘了塞林格，这个男人只是匆匆过客，卓别林才是自己的真命天子。
卓别林也从乌娜身上体会到了安宁，他觉得自己又年轻起来了。
乌娜与卓别林花前月下，互诉衷肠。
身在军营的塞林格好久都没有收到女友的来信，他开始慌张，他发现自己女友的疏离。
可是军命在身的塞林格无法分身，他只能不停地打探女友的消息。
终于有一天，塞林格知道乌娜正在与卓别林谈恋爱。
骄傲的塞林格无法接受这个事实，在他的眼里乌娜美若天仙，而卓别林不过是个滑稽小丑！
“这实在是太荒唐了，我不相信，我不相信。 ”
塞林格恨不能插翅飞到女友身边，可在军营的他己经身不由已了。
无奈之下，塞林格只能一封接一封地写着书信，他希望用自己的文字挽回乌娜的心。
但是这些书信统统都石沉大海，乌娜再也不会回头了，她要的是男人实际的关心，而不是一个个冰冷的文字。
尤金.奥尼尔对女儿的恋情怒不可谒，他以断绝父女关系相威胁。
乌娜面对父亲的愤怒，前男友的挽留，社会上的争议，没有丝毫的退缩，依然决定与卓别林共度一生。
1943年的冬天，18岁的乌娜和54岁的卓别林结婚了，他们的婚讯登上了全球报纸的头条。
得知消息的塞林格悲痛欲绝，终日酗酒，麻醉自己。
1945年，部队以“战争疲劳症”为由将塞林格送进医院接受治疗。
为什么，这是为什么？
塞林格想不通自己到底输在哪里，乌娜为什么会选择年长，情史混乱的卓别林，而不是风度翩翩，前程似锦的自己。
“卓别林，该死的卓别林！”
塞林格在极度绝望中将卓别林视作仇敌，他认为是卓别林的花言巧语骗走了乌娜。
都说距离产生美，可现在距离有了，美却消失了！
Salinger loves Una, but doesn't know her, has different intentions, and it's only a matter of time before they break up.
But Salinger didn't think so, he couldn't let go of his life, and he resented Chaplin all his life.
治疗失恋痛苦最有较的方法就是再来一段新的恋情。
塞林格也曾经试过再找一个恋人，他在疗养期间与一个叫西尔维娅的德国女医生相恋，并且很快就结婚了。
草率的婚姻自然长不了，他们不久便离婚了。
塞林格的心中还是无法忘记乌娜，他常常想起与乌娜在一起的美妙时光。
"Chaplin was a playboy, and Una would have left him."
Salinger was desperate to get the news of Una's divorce, but a few years later, Una and Chaplin were still thick, and he had long since become a thing of the past.
In 1953, a disappointed Salinger married a man named Claire Salinger. 道格拉斯的女学生相识，他们于1955年结为夫妻。
不过这段婚姻依然以离婚告终......
从此以后，塞林格开始了长达几十年的爱情守望。
塞林格不仅在心里恨卓别林，还把这种感受写进了文字里。
Salinger satirized Chaplin's The Great Dictator in his work The Death of a Creep.
Salinger's harsh words about Chaplin in his diary are even more specific
"I can imagine them at home at night. Chaplin had gray hair and was squatting naked on the top of the closet, shaking his head with his cane like a dead mouse. Una, dressed in a royal blue coat, clapped madly in the bathroom. ”
It is also quite ridiculous to think about it now, a famous writer is so indomitable for the sake of a lost love, it is simply a big child.
Salinger is actually an immature big child, and after losing Una, he frequently marries and divorces, complaining about the world.
Salinger, a soldier, fought in European wars, but the brutality of the war deterred him.
After retiring from the army, Salinger tried to return to society, but the reality of materialism frightened him.
The empty Salinger began to practice Zen Buddhism, settled in New Hampshire, married another wife, and had two children.
During this time, Salinger was so creative that he published The Catcher in the Rye and several short story collections.
As he became more and more obsessed with Zen Buddhism, Salinger grew tired of everything about the outside world and chose to live in seclusion.
The confused Salinger gradually disappeared from the public eye, and he continued to write, but no longer published any articles.
In this world, people can't find Salinger, and Salinger doesn't want to be found by anyone else.
Salinger hid himself completely, he was isolated and alone, enjoying solitude.
Despite being isolated, love is still wonderful.
Salinger's heart is eager to have love, he has had three marriages, but none of them have succeeded.
In fact, Salinger's heart has always loved Una alone, but unfortunately, this woman has a name and a master, and will never belong to him.
In his later years, Salinger was grumpy, and he once angrily knocked on the paparazzi's car window and shouted reprimands in protest.
Salinger died at his home in New Hampshire on January 27, 2010, at the age of 91.
Salinger lived in seclusion for decades, and he left with his love for Una.
If you truly love someone, please don't leave him or her, because love is fragile and can't stand too long to wait.
