This is one of my favorite collections. Salinger produces narrative as mechanism like Nabokov produces narrative as puzzle. But where Nabokov comes burdened with implied hidden meaning, Salinger comes with only the architecture. He has all the charm of a beautiful building, newly built and not yet occupied.

A dual-biography of Man Ray and Montparnasse. Fairly engaging
