Just saw Esquire posted links to not one, not two, but THREE things JD Salinger wrote for the magazine. Two were short stories and one was a letter.
Salinger’s letter: Inside the Mind of a Young J.D. Salinger
The Heart of a Broken Story: The first story J.D. Salinger wrote for Esquire
This Sandwich Has No Mayonnaise: J.D. Salinger’s story features Holden Caufield’s older brother.
BTW - the Esquire cover to the right is from 1997. Also archival. Like how I did that?
