Paperback. Condición: Very Good. An instant New York Times bestseller, this "explosive biography" (People) of one of the most beloved and mysterious figures of the twentieth century is "as close as we'll ever get to being inside J.D. Salinger's head" (Entertainment Weekly). This "revealing" (The New York Times) and "engrossing" (The Wall Street Journal) oral biography, "fascinating and unique" (The Washington Post) and "an unmitigated success" (USA TODAY), has redefined our understanding of one of the most mysterious figures of the twentieth century. In nine years of work on Salinger, and especially in the years since the author's death, David Shields and Shane Salerno interviewed more than 200 people on five continents, many of whom had previously refused to go on the record about their relationship with Salinger. This oral biography offers direct eyewitness accounts from Salinger's World War II brothers-in-arms, his family members, his close friends, his lovers, his classmates, his neighbors, his editors, his publishers, his New Yorker colleagues, and people with whom he had relationships that were secret even to his own family. Their intimate recollections are supported by more that 175 photos (many never seen before), diaries, legal records, and private documents that are woven throughout; in addition, appearing here for the first time, are Salinger's "lost letters"--ranging from the 1940s to 2008, revealing his intimate views on love, literature, fame, religion, war, and death, and providing a raw and revelatory self-portrait. The result is "unprecedented" (Associated Press), "genuinely valuable" (Time), and "strips away the sheen of [Salinger's] exceptionalism, trading in his genius for something much more real" (Los Angeles Times). According to the Sunday Times of London, Salinger is "a stupendous work.I predict with the utmost confidence that, after this, the world will not need another Salinger biography.".…

Paperback. Condición: Good. A keenly observed and irresistibly funny memoir about literary New York in the late nineties, a pre-digital world on the cusp of vanishing.  Now a major motion picture starring Sigourney Weaver and Margaret Qualley After leaving graduate school to pursue her dream of becoming a poet, Joanna Rakoff takes a job as assistant to the storied literary agent for J. D. Salinger. Precariously balanced between poverty and glamour, she spends her days in a plush, wood-paneled office--where Dictaphones and typewriters still reign and agents doze after three-martini lunches--and then goes home to her threadbare Brooklyn apartment and her socialist boyfriend. Rakoff is tasked with processing Salinger's voluminous fan mail, but as she reads the heart-wrenching letters from around the world, she becomes reluctant to send the agency's form response and impulsively begins writing back. The results are both humorous and moving, as Rakoff, while acting as the great writer's voice, begins to discover her own.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. NATIONAL BESTSELLER * The inspiration for the major motion picture Rebel in the Rye One of the most popular and mysterious figures in American literary history, the author of the classic Catcher in the Rye, J. D. Salinger eluded fans and journalists for most of his life. Now he is the subject of this definitive biography, which is filled with new information and revelations garnered from countless interviews, letters, and public records. Kenneth Slawenski explores Salinger's privileged youth, long obscured by misrepresentation and rumor, revealing the brilliant, sarcastic, vulnerable son of a disapproving father and doting mother. Here too are accounts of Salinger's first broken heart--after Eugene O'Neill's daughter, Oona, left him--and the devastating World War II service that haunted him forever. J. D. Salinger features this author's dramatic encounters with luminaries from Ernest Hemingway to Elia Kazan, his office intrigues with famous New Yorker editors and writers, and the stunning triumph of The Catcher in the Rye, which would both make him world-famous and hasten his retreat into the hills of New Hampshire. J. D. Salinger is this unique author's unforgettable story in full--one that no lover of literature can afford to miss. Praise for J. D. Salinger: A Life   "Startling . . . insightful . . . [a] terrific literary biography."--USA Today "It is unlikely that any author will do a better job than Mr. Slawenski capturing the glory of Salinger's life."--The Wall Street Journal   "Slawenski fills in a great deal and connects the dots assiduously; it's unlikely that any future writer will uncover much more about Salinger than he has done."--Boston Sunday Globe   "Offers perhaps the best chance we have to get behind the myth and find the man."--Newsday   "[Slawenski has] greatly fleshed out and pinned down an elusive story with precision and grace."--Chicago Sun-Times   "Earnest, sympathetic and perceptive . . . [Slawenski] does an evocative job of tracing the evolution of Salinger's work and thinking."--The New York Times.…
