> One of my students came up with a fine question and I wonder if any > bananafish know how Mr. Salinger supported himself from l946-l952 Excellent question. It's a long time since I read `Salinger: A Critical And Personal Portrait' but I vaguely remember something about Whit Burnett lending him money. And with his war troubles, wouldn't the goverment have given him some sort of pension or something? If anyone else knows I'd love to know too!
