Fear of failure. That's one of the reasons J.D. Salinger hid himself after becoming widely known. We all know that he was running away from fame and people's attention, but what exactly would make him really want to do that? It seems to me that he was afraid, if not bothered, by people's judgement. To me, he was afraid to be famous and to have his privacy taken away. Trying to avoid it, he decided to restrict himself rather than live a life restricted by others.
The connections we can make in comparison to Salinger's life and his book is that he flunked out of schools. He probably wasn't the best model of behavior for a kid.
Salinger appealed to people who thought simililarly to Clausfield, majority of them being adolescents. It was a revolutionary rebel book.

I think you are right thomas. I think he hid himself from the world, because he was afriad of failure. And that being a celebrity would take away his privacy is a great point.
