| Summary: | The contributors to this volume approach the work of J.D. Salinger from a variety of perspectives, including historical, formalist, biographical and feminist. What they share with each other and with readers everywhere is that none of them knows the answers to the questions that have haunted Salinger studies since the author's death on January 27, 2010. What are the contents of the Salinger vault, how much material does it contain and when will its contents be released to the public? The fifteen essays contained in this volume address countless questions about the enigmatic author of The Catcher in the Rye, Nine Stories, Franny and Zooey and Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: an Introduction, and they consistently offer very creditable, compelling responses to theme, further incrementing what George Steiner termed "the Salinger industry." |
