No love story here; no catchers and bananafish

Two writers, greats in their spheres of life, passed away this month. Eric Segal, the author who gave us 'Love Story', and JD Salinger, who introduced the world - and allegedly John Lennon's assassin - to an angst-ridden teenager, Holden Caulfield, in 'The Catcher in the Rye'.

One was a popular writer and artist; the other was a recluse. Wonder if they'll get together to write an epic in the other world they've gone to.

RIP, both of you.
