A literary assistant discovers Salinger's devotees.
"My Salinger Year" would be a good choice for those who enjoy memoirs and coming-of-age stories. The book provides a glimpse into the world of J.D. Salinger and the task of answering his fan mail. The most unique feature of the book is its portrayal of the pre-digital world of the late 1990s literary scene in New York, where the protagonist is trying to find her artistic sense while living in a tiny apartment with her socialist boyfriend. Readers who are interested in the power of books to shape lives would find this memoir engaging.
