Does anyone else feel that V.S. Naipaul dropped off the radar as soon as he won the Nobel Prize? I heard his name constantly in the 1990s and very early millennium, but after he won the Nobel it feels like there was not only a decline in his output, but in his cultural presence in general.

His output had gone down by the late 70s, he got the Nobel in 2001 at age 68, past the age many people retire. It's not like he collected the prize and Salingered out.

What did Salinger do?

Salinger became a recluse, more or less, because he hated the publicity and attention that came with his literary success.

Well, he did come back to create the game popular TV game show Hollywoo Stars and Celebrities: What Do They Know? Do They Know Things?? Let's Find Out!
