J. D. Salinger
Salinger ranks with Hemingway as one of America's most admired, imitated short story writers, taught in schools and eagerly reread in the years afterward. From "A Perfect Day for a Bananafish" to "For Esme, with Love and Squalor," Salinger produces, with virtuosic detail, characters who make you fall in love with them and break your heart in the same story.

by
Margaret A. Salinger
A crisp and insightful memoir that examines the psyche of the long-silent Salinger as only a daughter could. The Washington Post said it has "just about everything you'd look for in a Salinger story. Clear writing. Edgy characters. A dash of death. A pinch of sex. A dollop of loneliness. And lots and lots of weirdness."
