Description
J.D. Salinger was one of the twentieth century's greatest writers, yet he remained elusive throughout his life. This biography, written by journalist and biographer Paul Alexander, offers a comprehensive look at Salinger's story, drawing on extensive research and interviews with notable literary figures. Alexander has spent years uncovering the truth about Salinger's life, using archives from leading institutions such as Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, NYU, and the New York Public Library. The result is a detailed biography that sheds new light on the creator of Holden Caulfield, one of the most iconic characters in American literature. This biography was an inspiration for the major Hollywood film Salinger, directed by Shane Salerno and produced by The Weinstein Company.
