J. D. Salinger: The Last Interview and Other Conversations by J.D. Salinger
2.0
This review is solely based on the book, it’s format, not anything about J.D. Salinger as a person.
We know Salinger never gave any interviews willingly. This leads to the problem of a lack of non-repetitive content in this book. They author simply seemed to have pasted together a series of articles people wrote of Salinger. He didn’t bother editing any of them to remove repetitive quotations and background on Salinger. And while preserving an articles authenticity is important, the introduction made by the author repeats upon multiple articles later down in the book.
It’s just 167 pages of about 40 pages of new information, the rest is just a narrative or repeating itself.
