W.P. Kinsella on J.D. Salinger. "only 15 per cent of the movie-goers would have any idea who Salinger was" "Many, many people [who have read Shoeless Joe] think Salinger is a fictional character"

I can't believe that people who read books (i.e. have read "Shoeless Joe") would never have heard of Salinger.

I dunno, a book like that would be picked up by a sports fan for the baseball stuff alone.

I actually think he's better known now than he was around my time in high school and college, though.
