If You Really Want to Hear About It: Writers on J.D. Salinger and His Work
I'd like to read more from these authors and, in many ways, wish I did not dislike Salinger so much more now. I imagine that he will have to become, for me, like Hemingway. A favorite, irreplaceable author whose private life disturbs me so much that I wish I did not have to accept it rather than being able to wash my hands of him altogether. Faulkner once said to his daughters, I am told, "No one remembers Milton's daughters [who, I believe transcribed all of his work for him:]." Even Faulkner was an asshole. I have been able to boycott one popular icon entirely but Magnolia is the only loss I experience by excising Tom Cruise from my movie-watching. I admit that this is little solace to those who feel I should entirely boycott all assholes but I prefer to take the good produced by these men as recompense for their evils. Tom Cruise just doesn't have enough to tip the scales. His arrogance and asshole-status are far too large and painful to ever be outweighed by his acting or looks. I miss Katie Holmes pre-Cruise.
