J.D. Salinger on Ain't Misbehavin'
by Robert Diamond - February 12, 2010 Just a quick amusing find... Buried in the news stories about the first of what's sure to be MANY letters (and hopefully more substantial works) from J. D. Salinger is his report in a letter to a friend on "Ain't Misbehavin'" that he attended in 1979... By August 1979, his interest in the city has further waned. He discusses how much he enjoys the 30 hours he spends each August mowing his fields atop "the big dopey tractor" and writes that he was in New York for the first time in months and hated it. He and a companion attended a performance of "Ain't Misbehavin'." The best part, he reports, was the subway ride. |
