Books, Arts & Manners: In Search of Ian Hamilton

In Search of J. D. Salinger, by Ian Hamilton (Random House, 222 pp., $17.95)

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth…. I’m not going to tell you my whole goddam autobiography or anything.
