J.D. Salinger: The Last Interview by David Streitfeld
From the moment J. D. Salinger published The Catcher in the Rye in 1951, he was stalked by besotted fans, would-be biographers, and pushy journalists. In this collection of rare and revealing encounters with the elusive literary giant, Salinger discusses--sometimes willingly, sometimes grudgingly--what that onslaught was like, the autobiographical origins of his art, and his advice to writers. Including his final, surprising interview, and with an insightful introduction by New York Times journalist David Streitfeld, these enlightening, provocative, and even amusing conversations reveal a writer fiercely resistant to the spotlight but powerless to escape its glare.J.D. Salinger was born on January 1, 1919, in New York City, and died on January 27, 2010, in Cornish, New Hampshire. His stories appeared in a variety of publications, including The New Yorker. He wrote four book-length works of fiction between 1951 and 1963: The Catcher in the Rye, Nine Tales, Franny and Zooey, and Raise Up the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour--An Introduction. The novels have been praised and praised all across the world, and are credited with inspiring a lifelong love of reading in many people.
