I went through two paperback copies of J.D. Salinger‘s The Catcher in the Rye in my youth. The cover of the oldest (which either my father or an uncle gave me) is from the late ’50s, I think. The all-red-with-fine-yellow-lettering version I bought sometime in the ’70s. The just-released poster for Shane Salerno‘s Salinger (Weinstein Co., September) pays tribute to the latter. The talking heads in Salerno’s doc will include Phillip Seymour Hoffman, John Guare, Martin Sheen, Tom Wolfe, E.L. Doctorow and Gore Vidal.
