I am a published (5) novelist from the former Yugoslavia. Going down the
memory
lane, I recollect borrowing "The Catcher In The Rye" from the library section
of the
US Embassy in Belgrade, at the age of 16. There were no books in English at
the
bookstores, and, if you found some  - they were all on a red side.
One of my secret loves was the English language which wasn't one of the
favorites
among government rats.
What fascinated me about JDS? The language, the simplicity, and the depth.
Now, I can say it out loud -- I learned more about Amerika through Salinger
then
with collected works of  Updike and the similar.
I hope to learn some more about JDS, and I'm open to it.
