PODCAST - AUTHOR JOANNA RAKOFF: MY SALINGER YEAR

J.D. Salinger was among the most famous, reclusive and complicated writers in history. 

Author Joanna Rakoff got to know him in a way few have.

Rakoff will be at Words Bookstore tonight at 7:30 p.m. discussing her experience and Salinger's and promoting her new book, My Salinger Year.

As a 23-year-old staffer at his literary agency nearly 20 years ago, she answered his mail and spoke with him on a regular basis. During that time, she also had something of a writer's awakening herself.

We caught up with her this week to ask about the book, her career, and his.
