JD Salinger Really Was A Park Avenue Rich Kid

James Gould Cozzens had quite a bit in a common with JD Salinger.  He was a bit older, born in 1903 as compared to Salinger’s 1919.  He was a prep school kid and college drop-out who achieved early literary success.  Cozzens was never part of the New York literary scene.  His wife Sylvia Bernice Baumgarten was a literary agent and took care of all that for him.  Their “seclusion” was about two hours from New York in Lambertville, NJ.

To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
