“…beautifully captures a moment in history…a warm, witty, occasionally sly piece
of storytelling.”
—Harper’s Bazaar (UK)
-
“…an utterly beguiling memoir, not only about Salinger and a bygone era of publishing, but about relationships, finding one’s voice, and surviving in
the big city.”
—The Bookseller (UK)
-
“This is an impossibly excellent read —a glowingly entertaining, miss-your-subway-stop engrossing, note-perfect piece of storytelling”
—Charles Bock,
author of New York Times bestseller, Beautiful Children
-
“Joanna Rakoff is the literary world’s Lena Dunham, both of them witty, sensitive, elegantly baffled, zeitgeist-hitting Brooklyn ladies of their respective half-generations.”
—Sheila Weller, author of the New York Times bestseller Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, and the Journey of a Generation
-
“This is a vibrant coming-of-age memoir that moves along with momentum and energy, and one only wishes Rakoff had spent more than one year with Salinger so we’d have an even fuller portrait of a man who was and is often misunderstood.”
—Publishers Weekly
