{"product_id":"j-d-salinger-the-last-interview-and-other-conversations-9781612195896","title":"J. D. Salinger: The Last Interview: And Other Conversations","description":"From the moment J. D. Salinger published \u003ci\u003eThe Catcher in the Rye\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e journalist David Streitfeld, these enlightening, provocative, and even amusing conversations reveal a writer fiercely resistant to the spotlight but powerless to escape its glare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-298156\"\u003eJ.
