The result is at once surprising and very entertaining." -- BookPage "For half a century, [Charyn] has been an unpredictable, unclassifiable, and above all exactingly smart author." -- Open Letters Review "Charyn makes artful use of historical fact and fiction's panache." -- Kirkus Reviews "Wherever he takes us, Charyn's mind is always agile, and his prose is stunningly electric." -- Jewish Book Council, Praise for Sergeant Salinger "[A] literary tour de force. . . .

Salinger] and the times in which he came of age." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Charyn deftly leaves the reader wondering whether Holden Caulfield's teenage angst was really Salinger's personification of post-traumatic stress disorder. . . .

Synopsis
"J.D. Salinger, the mysterious author of The Catcher in the Rye, is remembered today as a litigious misanthrope who disowned his daughter. Jerome Charyn's Sergeant Salinger is a young WWII draftee assigned to the Counter Intelligence Corps, a band of secret soldiers who trained with the British. A rifleman and an interrogator, he witnessed all the horrors of the war-from the landing on D-Day to the relentless hand-to-hand combat in the hedgerows of Normandy, to the Battle of the Bulge, and finally to the first Allied entry into a Bavarian death camp, where corpses were piled like cordwood. After the war, interned in a Nuremberg psychiatric clinic, Salinger was bewitched by a suspected Nazi informant. They married, but not long after he brought her home to New York, the marriage collapsed. Maladjusted to civilian life, he lived like a "spook," with invisible stripes on his shoulder and the ghosts of the murdered inside his head. Grounded in biographical fact and reimagined as only Charyn could, this is an astonishing portrait of a devastated young man on his way to becoming the mythical figure behind a novel that has marked generations"--, A shattering biographical novel of J.D.
