Here's the deal:
Salinger will not (DUH) be a guest on Fresh Air on August 21. Instead,
they will be discussing "Catcher in the Rye" on another program, Talk of
the Nation. Here's the blurb about what the "Book Club" is and what they
had to say about Catcher. Also, any guesses on who the "book buddy" is?
