"Salinger"--the 2013 film documentary

<< < (3/3)

Hopalong:
Just watched it, Doc G...fascinating and painful.

I felt sad for him in the way one does for a talented, charismatic narcissist who has suffered as he did.
A war just breaks people of every kind, N or not.

But, of course, I felt sadder for the women he never saw as equals and the children he didn't love.

Hops
PS--I never liked The Catcher in the Rye, so I didn't read more of Salinger...

ann3:
I read Truman Capote's Answered Prayers, La Cote Basque & was amazed to find out that Salinger & Capote grew up in the same circles & in the same hood.  But, no surprise that Salinger claims he never met Capote, whom he found annoying.
