When asked . . . “the bread lines of the thirties”: This quote comes from my interview with Roger Lathbury.
GHOSTS IN THE SHADOWS
The material in this chapter, including all quotes, are taken from my New York article “J. D. Salinger’s Women.” Much of the chapter is confirmed by incidents in At Home in the World by Joyce Maynard.
“I would not assign . . . unduly assailed”: This quote comes from my interview with Gordon Lish.
CODA
“He began to write . . . that’s different, isn’t it?”: This quote comes from my interview with Russell Hoban.
On the issue of . . . agents and friends”: These quotes come from my interview with George Plimpton.
