Manhattan's Babe
註釋This illustrated English-language edition of French writer-filmmaker Frédéric Beigbeder's 2014 novel, Oona & Salinger. A nostalgic and bittersweet love story, Manhattan's Babe is a fictionalized account of the true-life romance between J.D. Salinger and Oona O'Neill, daughter of the great American playwright. The two first met in New York City in 1940, when Jerry Salinger, 21, was an up-and-coming writer, and Oona, 15, was a beautiful and charming socialite who partied at the Stork Club with Truman Capote and Gloria Vanderbilt. Their all-too-short romance blossomed during the summer of 1941, just a few months before the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the U.S. joined World War II.
