My Salinger Year by Joanna Rakoff

5.0

This book was so well written - I couldn’t put it down! It provided great insight into the ‘mystique’ of agency / publishing life, and I could truly visualize and experience the author’s office setting... sounded awfully cozy (albeit outdated for its time). Beyond all that, I appreciated how much this book humanized JD Salinger - I felt like I got more insight into him as a human being from this book than other articles/etc. that I’ve read. Makes me respect him even more. I’d definitely read this again and recommend to others, Salinger and non-Salinger fans, alike.
