Salinger, mysterious author of \u003ci\u003eThe Catcher in the Rye\u003c\/i\u003e, is remembered today as a reclusive misanthrope. Jerome Charyn's Salinger is a young American WWII draftee assigned to the Counter Intelligence Corps, a band of secret soldiers who trained with the British. A rifleman and an interrogator, he witnessed all the horrors of the war--from the landing on D-Day to the relentless hand-to-hand combat in the hedgerows of Normandy, to the Battle of the Bulge, and finally to the first Allied entry into a Bavarian death camp, where corpses were piled like cordwood.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter the war, interned in a Nuremberg psychiatric clinic, Salinger became enchanted with a suspected Nazi informant. They married, but not long after he brought her home to New York, the marriage collapsed. Maladjusted to civilian life, he lived like a \"spook,\" with invisible stripes on his shoulder, the ghosts of the murdered inside his head, and stories to tell.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGrounded in biographical fact and reimagined as only Charyn could, \u003ci\u003eSergeant Salinger\u003c\/i\u003e is an astonishing portrait of a devastated young man on his way to becoming the mythical figure behind a novel that has marked generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942658740\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.2 Inches, Length: 5.4 Inches, Weight: 0.7 Pounds, Width: 0.9 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jerome Charyn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53794841166131,"sku":"9781942658740","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/18397993482879.jpg?v=1785905936","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/sergeant-salinger","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
