I'll never understand that. Did you ever read Joyce Maynard's book At Home In The World? She paints a very ugly picture of Salinger. She basically got pimped out to Salinger by her own mother when she was very young.
I have not read it. Yes supposedly he was a very private guy and himself made the point that he feels you should measure the weight of a book separate from the character of the author who wrote it. Of course many times that can be hard to do!
