D. Salinger. Precariously balanced between poverty and glamour, she spends her days in a plush, wood-paneled office where Dictaphones and typewriters still reign and agents doze after three-martini lunches and then goes home to her threadbare Brooklyn apartment and her socialist boyfriend. Rakoff is tasked with processing Salinger s voluminous fan mail, but as she reads the heart-wrenching letters from around the world, she becomes reluctant to send the agency s form response and impulsively begins writing back. The results are both humorous and moving, as Rakoff, while acting as the great writer s voice, begins to discover her own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joanna Rakoff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44212655751228,"sku":"9780307947987","price":1147.5,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/my-salinger-year-9780307947987.jpg?v=1776698679","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/my-salinger-year-9780307947987","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
