Just finished #TheCatcherInTheRye #JDSalinger I'm too conflicted about this so I won't rate it; probably couldn't do it justice <le sigh> Would recommend. Would read again. "if you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth."

Newly released letters reveal JD Salinger’s wariness over ‘second-rate reviewers’

Exclusive: Author asked to remove reference to his ‘Jewish-Irishness’ from book jacket of The Catcher in the Rye He was a reclusive author, who revealed little about himself or the inspiration for his 1951 masterpiece The Catcher in the Rye. Now letters that JD Salinger wrote to his editor have come to light for the first time, offering significant insights, literary and personal. A previously unpublished correspondence reveals the author’s intervention over how he and his novel would be presented and his unease about his writing being viewed through an ethnic or religious lens.

Autor: #JDSalinger ✒️📖✒️
Libro: «El guardian entre el centeno»
"Verás que no eres la primera persona a quien la conducta humana ha confundido, asustado, y hasta asqueado.Te animará saber que no estás solo en ese sentido. Son muchos los hombres que han sufrido moral y espiritualmente del mismo modo que tú".

Stasera stavo leggendo #ChristianFrascella, su consiglio di un amico. Bravo scrittore, nulla da dire. Ma quando scriveva #JDSalinger #IlGiovaneHolden aveva ragione di esistere. Ora è diverso. Ma ho capito perché amo gli scrittori centro-sudamericani; e gli argentini, soprattutto; e #JLBorges e #JulioCortazar ancora di più. Perché raccontano la vita per metafore.
