Mircea Cartarescu

Mircea Cartarescu

Joost van den Broek / de Volkskrant / Redux

I always reread J.D. Salinger's books. Right now it's Franny and Zooey. I think it's at least the 10th time that I've read it. I know it almost by heart, actually. It's not a book of literature for me; it's a sort of gospel.

The English translation of Cartarescu's Blinding (Orbitor) trilogy will be out next year

See a new biography of J.D. Salinger.
