About this product

Product Information

In the spring of 1972, Joyce Maynard, a freshman at Yale, published a cover story in The New York Times Magazine about life in the sixties. Among the many letters of praise, offers for writing assignments, and request for interviews was a one-page letter from the famously reclusive author, J.D. Salinger. Don't Go Away Sad is the story of a girl who loved and lived with J.D. Salinger, and the woman she became. A crucial turning point in Joyce Maynard's life occurred when her own daughter turned eighteen - the age Maynard was when Salinger first approached her. Breaking a twenty-five year silence, Joyce Maynard addresses her relationship with Salinger for the first time, as well as the complicated , troubled and yet creative nature of her youth and family. She vividly describes the details of the times and her life with the finesse of a natural storyteller.Courageously written by a women determined to allow her life to unfold with authenticity, Don't Go Away Sad is a testament to the resiliency of the spirit and the honesty of an unwavering eye.

  • Touching, gutsy and a bit gossipy - a bittersweet treat

    Joyce Maynard is a very interesting American writer whose works include both fiction ("To Die For") and non-fiction. I became interested in her books after learning that she had been J. D. Salinger's lover in the early 1970s. Some Salinger fans have dissed her because they feel she exploited the relationship, but I have a different take on the situation. This book is a memoir of her life and approximately one third is devoted to her relationship with Salinger, which ended suddenly and sadly. A few critics feel that she is self-centered, but by focusing on her own feelings and experiences, she avoids passing judgment on other people's motives. The book is painful to read in parts because it is so personal, but Maynard is a very brave and open person. She loves her fans, has her own ...

  • A brilliant, young woman (who was at Yale) is lured away from her goals by a famous author (30 years her senior) and gave up her dream!

    The book deals with several topics that are controversial and relevant.
