In the really awful biography, _Salinger_, by Paul Alexander, Renaissance
Books, 1999, the author writes:
"I was also helped immensely by the _New Yorker_ archive at the New York
Public Library, which became open to the public after Hamilton published _In
Search of J.D. Salinger_. Mine is the first book to use this important
archive as source material."
I posted a few choice snippets of the book to Bfish in September/maybe into
early October, most of which quoted material from the New Yorker Archive.
Apart from information derived from the Archive, Alexander's book should be
pulped. After reading Alexander, Ian Hamilton seems like Joyce's Ellman .
Perhaps a visit to the Archive could be part of the NY Bfish Convention. :)
