Hello,

My name is Paul Janse, I am new here, I am a Dutch 33-year old
Salinger-admirer, have been reading his books over and over again for the

past 9 years.

Who could shed light on the following issues:
- Does the spoken language ("Manhattanese") sound dated now to American
readers?
- I read somewhere (I forgot where) that Nabokov admired Salinger. Is tha
t
true? How about vice versa?
- Have his books been translated into Russian?
- From Franny and Zooey it is clear that Salinger admires Tolstoy. How
about other Russian writers?

Regards,

Paul
