My Salinger Year by Joanna Rakoff

inspiring mysterious reflective tense slow-paced

4.75

Coming of age bildungsroman in the late 90s. A raw exploration of transitioning into womanhood and the ardous journey of making your mark in the world for the first time. Rakoff's thoughtful yet precise writing lets us step into 90s New York from an authentic perspective, alongside a young woman's slow and careful discovery of her wider literary passions.
