How a Book Publisher Failed to Get J.D. Salinger's Final Book 'Hapworth 16, 1924' Into Print.

I scored the publishing coup of the decade: his final book. And then I blew it.

A fascinating insight on Salinger's mind. His silence speaks volumes!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

One man's normality is another man's lunacy, I suppose :-)

Great read, Paddy. I've always felt bad because people just wouldn't leave the man alone. I've never thought of him as being crazy or odd...just a man who wanted privacy.

Lauhal, privacy is a wonderful thing in my book :-)

I see you've been promoted to Guide in my absence. Congratulation - you certainly deserved it.

Cheers.

I've been a Salinger fan since I was a teen. Thanks for the seed.

Thanks for stopping by, Wheel. Sometimes I wonder if anyone ever sees these seeds, so I appreciate your comment.

Cheers.
