Catcher In The Rye
Talk about someone who knew how to keep a secret: J.D. Salinger, author of “The Catcher in the Rye” and “Franny and Zooey,” kept many people at arm’s length throughout his storied career. Still, over the course of 10 years filmmaker Shane Salerno scaled Salinger’s impenetrable wall of privacy and seclusion. “American Masters” this week is showing Salerno’s director’s cut of “Salinger,” a documentary that was released in theaters last year. There are 15 minutes of new material. Topics covered include how World War II influenced Salinger’s life and work as well as his painstaking writing methods, his many relationships with young women, and the literary secrets he left behind after his death in 2010. As in most “American Masters,” interviews with Salinger’s friends, colleagues and members of his inner circle appear, many speaking on the record for the first time. E.L. Doctorow, Tom Wolfe and Gore Vidal talk about his work and his place in the literary canon. For some reason, actors such as Philip Seymour Hoffman, Edward Norton and John Cusack were also interviewed.
