A quest biography of J.D. Salinger, blending the author's life with the biographer's journey.
About
Details
Beller has followed his subject’s trail, from his Park Avenue childhood to his final refuge, barnstorming across New England to visit various Salinger shrines, interviewing just about everyone alive who ever knew Salinger. The result is a quest biography in the tradition of Geoff Dyer’s Out of Sheer Rage, an audiobook as much about the biographer as about the subject - two vivid, entertaining stories in one.
