Cool Interactive Map: Holden Caulfield's New York (@NyTimes: How do u create these?)...

Pilfered a screenshot of the interactive map that the New York Times posted online today: Walking in Holden's Footsteps

Holden Caulfield is a little b, but according to this, he sure did cover a lot of ground in a short amount of pages. This map actually makes me want to re-read the book now.

More so however, I'd love to get some intel on how NYT creates these nifty infographics, anyone in the know?

In a related question, I've heard a theory, but why do you think Brett Easton Ellis is so psyched that J.D. Salinger bought the farm?
