{"product_id":"j-d-salinger-the-last-interview-isbn-9781612195896","title":"J. D. Salinger: The Last Interview","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.\u003cb\u003eJ.D. Salinger \u003c\/b\u003e(b. 1919, New York, NY; d. 2010, Cornish, NH) was one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century. His landmark novel\u003ci\u003e The Catcher in the Rye\u003c\/i\u003e is widely established as a defining novel of post-World War II America. He is also the author of the collections \u003ci\u003eNine Stories, Franny and Zooey,\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSeymour: An Introduction\u003c\/i\u003e.  Though he continued to write up until his death in 2010, Salinger was fiercely reclusive and stopped publishing his work in 1965. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditor\u003cb\u003e David Streitfeld \u003c\/b\u003eis a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who writes for \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e.
