Review: My Salinger Year
Gaby Meares
Thoroughly enjoyable memoir of Rakoff’s year at “The Agency”, who’s major client is Jerry (J.D.Salinger). It brought back memories for me of dicta-phones manipulated by a foot peddle as if you were running a Singer sewing machine, manual typewriters and smoking bosses!
I’m also keen now to read Franny & Zooey and perhaps even re-read Catcher in the Rye.
