In the Dec 4 issue of The New Yorker, Francis Davis reviews books
("Blue Heaven") on Kind of Blue, Miles Davis's great album. Davis
released Kind of Blue in l959 and it has been gathering listeners
strongly ever since...at the end of the review, the reviewer Davis
contextualizes the time of the album's release by saying it was "a
time when the fads included the writings of the Beats and J.D.
Salinger and the blissful resignation of Zen Buddhism" (100).
I think it's extremely ironic that Salinger is considered a fad in an
article in The New Yorker...
