Of all the authors I have read none have been stranger than J.D. Salinger, as described by Margaret A. Salinger. Not only was Margaret Salinger the author of a memoir depicting J.D. Salinger’s life, but she was also his daughter. Salinger gave a very descriptive look into her father’s private life and also her childhood. When I was first handed Salinger’s work, I was a bit skeptical as to what she was going to say about her father and if it was going to be boring. I say boring, because I really did not picture J.D. Slinger to be such an interesting character. As his daughter described him in her book, he is a bit of a neurotic and definitely marched to a beat of a different drummer. His behavior was and still is a bit off the wall and his antics definitely display that, from living in almost complete solitude to drinking his own urine. Also, his relationship with women was a bit eye opening and especially the relationship between him and his second wife. This wouldn’t be the type of person I’d never picture to write such a great American classic. The way that Salinger described her father through word was perfect, and it was like you could almost picture him doing all the things she said he did. It really made me look at the world of authors different, that they are all different in their own ways.
