A proposito di Salinger

Sull'ultimo numero della Paris Review Blair Fuller racconta di una strana serata dell'inverno del 1952 passata in compagnia di J.D. Salinger a New York. "For a considerable time Jill and Joe and Salinger and I were all sitting on the living room’s carpet. He asked us to call him Jerry, then asked some routine questions about what we were doing and why, but with a pleasing sympathetic intensity. He made several comments that put him on our side, the side of people starting out rather than the people settled in to lifelong careers. The conversation warmed, and we found that we could make each other laugh." parisreview.

Kenneth Slawenski, J. D. Salinger. A Life (Random House). "J. D. Salinger spent the first third of his life trying to get noticed and the rest of it trying to disappear. He would have hated J. D. Salinger: A Life, Kenneth Slawenski's reverent new biography, which comes to us just a year after the writer's death and creditably unearths and aggregates the facts and reads them into the fiction -  reanimating the corpse without quite making it sing. If you really want to hear about it, what's missing ... is Salinger's voice", dice Jay McInernay della nuova biobrafia di Salinger. nytbr.
