⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This - from the #IconSeries of brief biographies - was an intriguing look at one my favorite authors. Beller is a bit self aggrandizing, but it didn‘t affect my enjoyment. I liked hearing about his research process. This was my second Salinger biography; I‘ll soon get to my third. When you love someone‘s work so purely, there‘s an unequivocal urge to dive deep.

Leftcoastzen I haven‘t read that one! 3y

britt_brooke @Leftcoastzen It‘s good, quick one! I think you‘d like it. 3y
