OONA & SALINGER, frederic beigbeder

Oona loved hearing from Jerry; she loved his letters. They were seductive, delicious, enchanting letters. - LEILA HADLEY LUCE He wrote Oona letters ten pages long while he was overseas in the army. Sort of love-letter essays, very tender, tenderer than God. - CAROL MARCUS
