>"The refusal to rest content, the willingness to risk excess on behalf of one's obsessions, is what distinguishes artists from entertainers, and what makes some artists adventurers on behalf of us all." John Updike about Salinger, in a review of Franny and Zooey
>In her memoir "Running With the Bulls," Valerie Hemingway, who worked as Hemingway’s secretary and later became his posthumous daughter-in-law, writes, "the contemporary American authors (Hemingway) most admired were J.D. Salinger, Carson McCullers and Truman Capote." Hemingway also bought Valerie a copy of "The Catcher in the Rye" shortly after they first met in Spain in 1959.
