D. SalingerThis was a tough one. Catcher was an easy find. Nine Stories and Raise High were awful PDFs that took a while to OCR and clean. The uncollected stories were put together by an English Dept at a local university (and, luckily, I knew someone there). But Franny & Zooey was nowhere to be found--until I found a page-by-page RussianEnglish edition. I stripped the English out and reassembled the book. I havent proofread any of this -- but a cursory edit shows that it looks pretty good. Oh well, Ive been meaning to do this for a while...and here is the World Premiere

Author: Brad Gooch File Type: mobi From Publishers WeeklyGooch (_City Poet__The Life and Times of Frank OHara_) offers a surprisingly bloodless biography of Flannery OConnor (19251964), who, despite the authors diligent scholarship, remains enigmatic. She emerges only in her excerpted letters, speeches and fiction, where she is as sharp-tongued, censorious, piteously observant and mordantly funny as her beloved short stories. There is little genuinely interesting new material, but there are small gemsthe full story of OConnors friendship with the mysterious A. of her letters, for instance. Perhaps mindful of the writers dislike of being exposed in print, Gooch errs on the side of delicacy he does not sufficiently explore her attitudes toward blacks and how the early onset of lupus left her sequestered on her mothers Georgia farm, without the male companionship she craved. Instead, he plumbs OConnors fiction for buried fragments of her daily life, and the revelations are hardly astonishing. Readers looking for more startling tidbits will be disappointed by this account that brims with the quiet satisfactions the author took in her industry (I sit all day typing and grinning like the Cheshire cat), her faith, friends and stoic approach to a debilitating disease. 16 pages of b&w photos. (Feb. 25) br Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. FromDrawing on recently unsealed letters and an impressive array of interviews, Gooch provides the first major biography of Flannery OConnor since she died in 1964, at the age of thirty-nine. He presents a writer influenced by the early death of her father and the retreat from city life to country an Irish Catholic upbringing that evolved into an adult fascination with theology and a Southern small-town culture whose matrons, including OConnors mother, were happy for her success but put off by the unladylike nature of her workEverybody here shakes my hand but nobody reads my stories. Though she spent time in both the Midwest and the Northeast, lupus narrowed the circle of her life to a dairy farm in Milledgeville, Georgia, where she collected exotic birds. Goochs account is meticulous, but OConnors sedate, chaste life is pale in comparison with her fantastic fictiona contrast that underscores her inscrutable genius. br 2008_ Click here to subscribe to The New Yorker_
