Description:
Salinger, J.D. American author of The Catcher in the Rye.Typed letter signed "Love Jerry." 1 page. Feb. 29, 3 PM [1972]. To Eileen Paddison, a close friend and aspiring writer who maintained a correspondence with Salinger for over 10 years. In this personal letter, Salinger opens up about why he escaped home at 15, the age of Holden. In the same letter, he describes seeking out training to perform acupuncture on himself and decries the inability of writers to capture sex that "rings true." J.D. Salinger rose to international fame as an author for his portrayal of Holden Caulfield, a sensitive and misunderstood adolescent, who rather than returning home after being kicked out of boarding school, instead wanders the streets of New York City on his own personal pilgrimage. While doing so, he reflects on life, his past, and his fear of being tainted by adult "phoniness" personified by his upper middle-class parents. Though Salinger was extremely tight-lipped about validating any comparisons between… Read More

J D Salinger. The Saturday Evening Post. The Curtis Publishing Company, 1943. First Edition. "THE VARIONI BROTHERS" The Curtis Publishing Company, 1943. Soft cover. First Edition. This Salinger shoort story appears for first time in print in this The Saturday Evening Post, Volume CCXVI. Published in Philadelphia by The Curtis Publishing Company on July 17, 1943. In fact he sold the rights to "The Varioni Brothers," along with several other stories, to a well-known literary agent even before its initial publication in the July 17, 1943 issue of the "Saturday Evening Post." The story is a tale of two brothers: Joe, a sensitive writer who values artistic integrity, and his brother Sonny, a musician who, though talented, is more interested in fame and fortune. Sonny cajoles Joe into writing the lyrics for his songs, which result in wealth and celebrity for both brothers. Yet this drive, Sonny's drive, it must be emphasized, for money and renown is not without consequence, as a gangster shoots Joe,… Read More

Description:
A revealing letter signed by J.D. Salinger, all relating to the impending publication of Franny and Zooey. Salinger wrote this letter just over a month before Franny and Zooey was published, as he received the corrected proofs. 1 page, typed and signed in his hand in full, "J.D. Salinger" to his publisher. In it, he attempts to convince Little, Brown that the most authentic running heads for "Franny" and "Zooey," would be with the individual titles, rather than the full Franny and Zooey. He argues in true Salinger fashion, "I really can't see, at all, why an appropriate running head for a short story need appear to be anything except what it is." In 1955 and 1957, "Franny" and then "Zooey," two stories about the youngest members of the Glass family, were released separately in the New Yorker. In July of 1961 they became the two-part book, Franny and Zooey. Through the publication process, Salinger fought to keep creative control. Since Little, Brown first championed Salinger's artistic vision ten… Read More

Description:
Salinger, J.D. American author of Catcher in the Rye. Typed letter signed "Jerry". Two pages. June 17, 1978. To Eileen Paddison, a close friend and aspiring writer who maintained a correspondence with Salinger for over 15 years. The intensely private author shares here with uncharacteristic openness about his most closely guarded secret: writing. Salinger was deeply critical and found the discussion of writing abhorrent. In this private letter, Salinger finally speaks to what he thinks it takes to become a writer. "Studying medicine. Having babies. Writing. There's a lot to sort out in your head, I'd say. Some of it will doubtless get sorted out for you by destiny, circumstances, but that will still leave you with plenty to decide on your own." Salinger begins. "Whether or not you're cut out to write professionally or "seriously" nobody can tell-- not I, not anybody else, despite all the stuff that gets mouthed up on the subject in writing "workshops" and on campuses in general." It is up to Eileen… Read More

Salinger, J.D. American author of The Catcher in the Rye. Typed letter signed "Jerry". 2 pages. January 21, 1975. To Eileen Paddison, a close friend and aspiring writer who maintained a correspondence with Salinger for over 15 years. A fascinating and personal letter to the woman whom Salinger considered to be his true "sister" in a spiritual sense; the sort of ideal sibling relationship Salinger lacked in his own family, but wrote about in the characters of Holden and Phoebe, and again as Franny and Zooey. An intensely personal letter from Salinger to Eileen Paddison, whom Salinger has referred to in multiple letters throughout their long correspondence as his "sister" or relation in an otherworldly sense. The notion of an idealized brother-sister relationship, marked by deep and intuitive understanding in an otherwise alienated world is one of the most important themes in Salinger's writing. Biographers have long hypothesized as to how Salinger became so adept at fictionalizing sibling… Read More

Description:
Salinger, J.D. American author of The Catcher in the Rye.Typed letter signed "Jerry" and with two hand-written pencil corrections. 2 pages. Dec. 23, 3 PM [1971]. To Eileen Paddison, a boarding-school girl and aspiring writer who struck up an unlikely lifelong friendship with the author, and over time became the recipient of some of his most personal confessions. A long and intriguing letter, in which the reclusive author admits he understands what she is going through, grappling with a mixed identity, and finding his escape in boarding school, "Boarding schools have a bad name, but they oddly suit some kinds of kids." It was Salinger's boarding school experience coupled with intrinsic alienation that formed the basis for his most acclaimed novel, The Catcher in the Rye. Also with content on his hatred of stealing and intense love of privacy-two factors which would dominate the second half of his life as Salinger withdrew from the limelight and aggressively punished infringement on his intellectual… Read More

Description:
Salinger, J.D. American author of The Catcher in the Rye. Typed letter signed "Jerry". 2 pages. August 4, 1979. To Eileen Paddison, a close friend and aspiring writer who maintained a correspondence with Salinger for over 15 years. A letter detailing his distrust of "the typical AMA-abiding mind" (by which he means non-homeopathic western medicine doctors) and the difficulty of being a good sibling, "small hell for a tolerant sister with a telephone in the house." Both for the anti-establishment content, and the interplay of sibling relations content, this letter is richly exemplative of Salinger's attitudes as a person and as an author. Most fascinating however, is Salinger's admission in this letter that he is "working", (by which he means that he continues to write), although his last novella, "Hapworth 16, 1924, had been published 14 years earlier, and no more of his fiction would ever be published. An encouraging and personal letter by J.D. Salinger, one of America's great authors. In 1972, a… Read More

SALINGER, J.D. Typed Letter Signed "Jerry" with accompanying, unpublished draft for the dust jacket for Raise High the Roofbeams, Carpenter and Seymour: An Introduction. The draft was typed by Salinger and also includes a correction in his hand. Dated Sept. 9, 1962. Although Salinger was preparing for the publication of his final anthology about the Glass Family, he writes a letter to his agent mentioning The Catcher in the Rye: "When The Catcher in the Rye was on the fire, Little-Brown paid for some pictures of me taken by a woman named Lotte Jacobi..." The Lotte Jacobi photo was printed large across the back cover of the first two printings of The Catcher in the Rye. Salinger's fame exploded after publication, and he soon found he had become too recognizable to continue living in New York City with any semblance of privacy. By the third printing of Catcher, he had his image removed from the book jacket, yet he was pained by it his whole life, even going so far as asking his publishing house to… Read More

Salinger, J.D. American author of The Catcher in the Rye. Typed Letter signed "Jerry". 1 page. April 5, [1972]. To Eileen Paddison, then a high school student living at boarding school, she would become a close friend and confidante of Salinger over the next several years. A striking letter in which the reclusive author admits he understands what she is going through, having escaped family problems through boarding school himself as a teenager, and lending his support her issues with family, "I think I understand about being glad, sort of, to get back to your little cell at school." It was Salinger's boarding school experience coupled with a fraught family life that formed the basis for his most acclaimed novel, The Catcher in the Rye,which also made him a lightning rod for a generation of young people who identified with his profound isolation. While Salinger received hundreds, if not thousands, of letters from teenagers who believed he alone would understand their problems, responsive letters from… Read More

Description:
J.D. Salinger, famous American author of Catcher in the Rye and Franny and Zooey. 1 page dated March 10, 1961. Typed letter signed "Jerry" addressed to his editor "Ned" Bradford at Little, Brown. Little, Brown published both Catcher in the Rye and Franny and Zooey for Salinger. Salinger was in the final stretch of the publication of Franny and Zooey, which would come out in July 1961, and writes that he will miss socializing with Signet editor Victor Weybright. Salinger's relationship with Signet was actually quite strained, thanks to his deep dislike for Signet's illustrated paperback cover of Catcher in the Rye, showing Holden Caulfield in his red cap. When the contract was up with Signet, Little, Brown got the rights to the paperback edition, which Salinger refers to when he notes that he's glad about "the arrangements." Salinger goes on to write about Erich Maria Remarque, author of the antiwar novel All Quiet on the Western Front. He writes, "I think Erich Maria Remarque is published by Little… Read More

He moved to rural Cornish, New Hampshire, but he was still pursued by media and fans alike.

Salinger, J.D.  American author of Catcher in the Rye. Two typed letters, one signed "Jerry" and the other signed "JDS". June 17, 1978 (two pages) and December 10, 1971 (one page). To Eileen Paddison, a close friend and aspiring writer who maintained a correspondence with Salinger for over 15 years. An archive revealing the Taoist philosophical underpinnings of Saliner's iconic critique of the American bourgeois life-style. In 1977, Gerald Rosen authored an entire book on the Zen and Buddhism influence on Salinger work, Zen in the Art of J. D. Salinger, analyzing Buddhism concepts and phrasing in The Catcher in the Rye, Franny & Zooey, and also his other short stories. In these letters, Salinger goes into detail about exactly what it is in Taoist practice he finds so compelling. American Author J.D. Salinger built his canon with novels starring hungry young truth-seekers, dissatisfied with the materialism and soullessness of upper middle-class American life. He was intensely averse to the fame that… Read More
