At Home in the World: A Memoir - Joyce Maynard (Cass)
Title: At Home in the World: A Memoir Title: At Home in the World: A Memoir Author: Joyce Maynard Genre: Biography Format: Audio Cassette, 2 Cass., 3 Hrs. Synopsis: Joyce Maynard's autobiography of her affair 25 years ago with J.D. Salinger. Review: Library Journal (March 1, 2000) This memoir chronicles the brief relationship author Maynard had with J.D. Salinger when she was 18 years old. Maynard begins by telling the story of her alcoholic father and intelligent but stifled mother. She moves on to the writing career she launched as a teenager, including the essay published in the New York Times Magazine that prompted Salinger to send her a letter. Maynard then speaks of the unfolding of her relationship with Salinger in exacting detail and, in comparison, glosses over the effects it had on her life. Her reading is clear and well paced, but while the present tense she favors might work in print, it jars in the audio production. This tape will primarily attract those looking for a glimpse of Salinger the person, or those interested in how this 18-year-old began a career as a writer at such a young age. Recommended for a literary crowd.--Adrienne Furness, Genesee Community Coll., Batavia, NY Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
