Dear Ted,
Ian Hamilton wrote the (in)famous Salinger biography which landed
him in court at the hands of his subject. A ton of quotations, as a
result of the court's decision, had to be removed from the book. This may
be the best one to look at. There are also somme anthologies which
containn the "time" article which does a brief summary of Salinger's
career. I'm sure others will have more helpful suggestions, but these are
the books I know.
Brett.
