⭐️⭐️ The Last Interview (and Other Conversations) series is usually very enjoyable, but this Salinger version - considering his well-documented reclusiveness - truly grasped at straws. It‘s mostly just a collection of articles written by a few folks fortunate enough to have met him, even just briefly. Some are quite annoying, tbh. It closes with a word from the small press publisher who pissed away the opportunity to publish Hapworth. Poor guy.

We‘re out of town for my cousin‘s wedding. Husband went for a run (overachiever!) so the babies and I are doing a little hotel room reading. #raisingreaders

MallenNC I would definitely choose reading over running! 5y

britt_brooke @MallenNC No-brainer, right?! ?? Plus it‘s 34° out. ? 5y

MallenNC @britt_brooke Anything outdoors under 65 degrees is a no brainer for me! 5y

"I wish... you could read letters you wrote 46 years ago. It is very painful reading," taunts JD Salinger in this transcript of a legal deposition from 1986. The book scrapes the very bottom of the barrel for sundry articles republished from various publications. It takes advantage of fans like me who are desperate for Salinger materials. The old writer comes across both world weary & ridiculously naive about legal proceedings. For phonies only.

Hobbinol The painting is by Aliza Nisanbaum & was included in this year's Whitney Biennial. It's titled: 2 Years of Correspondence from Inmate 39807.😊 7y

vivastory Favorite final sentence of a review I've recently read! 👍 👏 7y

Hobbinol @vivastory Thanks! Publishers can be such cons sometimes. Apparently this is part of a whole series that includes the miscellany of a number of authors. 7y

vivastory @hobbinol i will definitely steer clear. 7y

OrangeMooseReads 😔 I will avoid this one then 7y

When I read on the train I feel very stationary and yet I know the world is whirling by.

Hobbinol @DivineDiana Thank you so much! I adore trains. This one pulled into Penn Station nearly 4 hours late! Torrential rains brought down trees over tracks. We didn't board until 5:30 in the wee. So very happy to be here! 7y
