Download J. D. Salinger: The Escape Artist AudioBook Free

A spirited, deeply personal inquiry into the near-mythic life and canonical work of J. D. Salinger by the article writer known for his awareness to the Manhattan culture that was Salinger's great theme. 3 years after his loss of life at 91, J.D. Salinger remains our most mythic article writer. The Catcher in the Rye (1951) became an American common, and he was for a long time the article writer for The New Yorker. Franny and Zooey and Increase High the Roof structure Beam, Carpenters presented, by way of the Goblet family, a new type in contemporary books: the introspective, voluble ensemble of heroes whose level is the top East Side of NY. But fame proved a burden, and in 1953 Salinger fled to New Hampshire, spending another half hundred years in isolation. Beller has used his subject's trail, from his Playground Avenue child years to his final refuge, barnstorming across New Britain to go to various Salinger shrines, interviewing just about everybody alive who ever before knew Salinger. The result is a pursuit biography in the traditions of Geoff Dyer's Out of Sheer Trend, an audiobook all the about the biographer as about the topic - two stunning, entertaining stories in one.
