<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From the moment J. D. Salinger published <i>The Catcher in the Rye</i> 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 <i>New York Times</i> journalist David Streitfeld, these enlightening, provocative, and even amusing conversations reveal a writer fiercely resistant to the spotlight but powerless to escape its glare.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>J.D.
