also on abebooks.com: SALINGER, J.D. Franny and Zooey
Boston: Little, Brown, 1961 First Edition. An
extraordinary presentation copy, inscribed by the
author in the month of publication, "To Swami
Atmaghanananda, Old pilgrim and true friend. How much
his friendship means to me. Jerry Salinger. 7/29/61."
John Moffitt, Jr., known as Swami Atmaghanananda. was
a novice and monk from 1932-1963, when he converted to
Roman Catholicism. As a Hindu, he contributed poetry
to various magazines, including The New Yorker. He
corresponded with Salinger from 1953 to 1965, and the
two discussed spirituality and its relationship to
literature. Some spotting; very good in dust jacket.
The reclusive Salinger's presentation copies are of
great rarity. Of the few we have had, this one is
notable for its simple and genuine statement of warmth
and affection. Bookseller Inventory # 14775
