653 J.D. Salinger
Manage episode 451208758 series 2048290
He's best known as the author of The Catcher in the Rye, one of the great publishing and cultural successes of the twentieth century. But there was more to the Jerome David Salinger (1919-2010) story than a single book. In this episode, Jacke takes a look at Salinger's childhood and education, his youthful romance thwarted by an unlikely turn of events, his war and postwar experiences as a soldier and special intelligence investigator, his flurry of almost unbelievable success as a writer, and his years of self-imposed seclusion. PLUS an excerpt from the little-known story that first featured Holden Caulfield's first-person voice.
Additional listening:
- 119 The Catcher in the Rye (with Mike Palindrome)
- 32 The Best Debut Novels of All Time (with Mike Palindrome)
- 162 Ernest Hemingway
