Title: AT HOME IN THE WORLD: A MEMOIR
Review: Joyce Maynard's AT HOME IN THE WORLD: A MEMOIR is perhaps the most well-written, witty, lively, sad, and introspective book I have ever read. It's such a remarkable page-turner that I wanted to yell, "Encore!" Maynard's brilliant writing style and tremendous gift for detail transfixed me as I discovered she was only 18 years old when she published her first article in a prestigious New York magazine. Raised by a kooky, critical mother and a drunken father, she soon became J.D. Salinger's oh-too-young pet and mistress. Not only did I gain insight into Salinger's clever and controlling mind, I reveled in Maynard's maturity and ability to eventually cope with, and be in, the world.
