I’ll just tell you about this madman stuff that happened to me around last Christmas just before I got pretty run-down and had to come out here and take it easy. I mean, that’s all I told D.B. about, and he’s my brother and all. He’s in Hollywood. That isn’t too far from this crumby place.
– J. D. Salinger
The Catcher in the Rye. Chapter 1. Holden calls his older brother a prostitute because he sold his writing talents to Hollywood and writes movie scripts purely for money.
