how to be "unfamous" like Salinger

I love Salinger's novels and short stories. I have most of them and have read all of them several times over the last decade. I'm not going to go into how much I identify with several of his "Glass" family characters that reoccur in most of his stories, or how his style of writing is one I would do anything to emulate..without actually copying him of course!
I'm going to just observe that the reality stars, and the 15 minute celebrities that get pushed down our eyeballs everyday in the press, in the music world, on the net and on tv could really learn alot from this man. After achieving huge critical and financial success doing what he loved doing- writing- he simply dropped out, living a reclusive life, avoiding the public, refusing to do any interviews, and not having his photo taken after he turned 45 years old. Today, he died at age 91. By all accounts, even his own children, he was a egomaniac, an eccentric, a moody person who was very aware of all the Hollywood producers who wanted to make "Catcher in the Rye" into a film. He turned down Spielberg! Noone turns down Spielberg! And, recently, he sued a man who was going to publish a fictional "sequel" to "Catcher"...and won.
Take note, all you celebrity fame-whores out there...and yes, that is a new word that is used these days to describe a certain type of desperate celebrity (think, Tila Tequila). If you don't know who that is, then good for you. Leave it that way. If any of you had more than a gumball in your head and a crack rock in your pocket, you would do fame the Salinger way- going AWAY for a while, leaving the public to wonder where you are, what you're doing, and what's wrong with you..thereby furthering your mystique and your reputation as a talent. Yes, it's similar to pulling a Howard Hughes, going a little nutty and living off of your toilet paper, cigar butts and burying yourself in trash in your enormous estate- but at least people would wonder about you.
RIP, Salinger. Thank you for your wonderful stories, your unforgettable characters I grew up with, your acutely American pretenciousness, and your decades of hiding out while we shared myths about your hidden life. There are rumours that you left a file full of unpublished stories...if you had wanted them published, they would already be out there, wouldn' t they....you deliberately left a treasure box without the key.
How very "very" of you!
