	JOYCE MAYNARD
		Maynard captures the already compromised emotional state of a girl who is enduring tremendous loss, uprooted and feeling betrayed by most of what she has come to trust.
		Maynard's Wendy is not glib; she speaks to a generation of young girls who are trying to navigate through a culture of loss, of wanting to belong to a family and at the same time free themselves from the usual rules.
		Maynard has skillfully woven together the painful present with a lost, idyllic past, first with an imaginative and loving mother, then with a stepfather, a jazz musician who takes care of Wendy as though she were his own.

		Of the remainder, half describes Maynard's childhood as the daughter of an alcoholic father and a frustrated, overbearing mother; the other half follows her through an ill-fated marriage and the birth of three children.
		Maynard is, to put it mildly, a little peeved that these aspects of her book have been overlooked.
		One young man was struck by Maynard's assertion that "Salinger was the closest thing I had to a religion." "I'm in that kind of situation with a friend, a loved one, and it's wrong," he says.

	Joyce Maynard - "The Memoir" - 2000 Key West Literary Seminar
		JOYCE MAYNARD was born in Exeter, New Hampshire in 1953, passed out daisy bumper stickers for Eugene McCarthy in 1968, graduated from the first co-ed class of Phillips Exeter Academy in 1971, and dropped out of Yale in 1972 to write her first book.
		In her years as a journalist, Maynard has written about a vast range of subjects, but her themes nearly always involve the unique issues facing families--particularly women--raising children and then launching them in the world in the nineties, while pursuing lives beyond the kitchen as few of their mothers were able to do.
		She tells the story of Salinger’s dismissal, and her painful re-entry into the world, as well as her failed marriage, the loss of her parents, and her struggle to rebuild at mid-life and to free herself from the constraints of a twenty five year silence to confront the most painful truths of her experience.

	I Was a Teen-Ager for the New York Times - Joyce Maynard sells herself, piece by piece. By Alex Beam
		Joyce recently announced that she will be looking back again, this time at her nine-month love affair with reclusive New Hampshire writer J.D. Salinger.
		The Salinger story was always Joyce's literary high ground, a museum piece of integrity not included in the ongoing fire sale of her life experiences.
		That was Joyce's age when J.D. summoned her to his hilltop aerie in Cornish, N.H. Yet when I sought her out for comment shortly before she concocted her sob story for the Times, Joyce told me she whipped up the Salinger submission to fulfill a contractual obligation to St. Martin's.

		Joyce Maynard says she was too nervous too technically consummate the relationship.

		At that time Maynard was an emotionally and sexually inexperienced freshman at Yale, and Salinger, at 53, was already a confirmed recluse who had not written anything for publication in seven years.
		Maynard -- who used to write a syndicated column about her home life and who maintains a Web site that includes regular missives to her fans -- has long been accused of self-absorption, but her memoir "At Home in the World" drew particularly high-minded fire.
		Maynard is being accused of exploiting a relationship that was exploitative from the very start.

		Joyce Maynard would like people to forget about her affair, please / Her latest book is a true-crime story that taps into an obsession of hers -- the bitter family secrets that may lie beneath a seemingly happy exterior
		Maynard likes to talk about her 10-month relationship with the famous author, and when she began to wind down ("He handed me a $50 bill and told me to go away"), it was clear the past was threatening to upstage Maynard's current work.
		Maynard said she was inspired by Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" and had been seeking to write a true-crime piece that matched one of her obsessions: examining the dark family secrets that exist beneath a happy exterior.

	JD Salinger : Joyce Maynard : At Home In The World : book reviews : spike magazine
		Joyce Maynard’s book, along with the du Pre siblings’ A Genius in the Family and Claire Boom’s recent revelations about the writer Philip Roth, lifts and flings wide open the lid on a stash of personal suffering and betrayal, and revels in the satisfaction of what must be a particularly sweet form of revenge.
		Maynard’s subject is her nine month relationship with the writer J.D. Salinger, perhaps the most mysterious and worshipped of all living American novelists.
		Joyce, flattered by the attentions of a man who claimed to be her "landsman", swiftly fell in love – and into the dangers of a relationship with a manically controlling older man.

		"Joyce Maynard takes us into the heart and mind of a thirteen-year-old girl struggling to come to terms with her mother's death.
		"Joyce Maynard has written the story we all imagined but dared not tackle—what happens to a postmillennial Wendy thrust into a Neverland she could never have imagined."
		Maynard brings national tragedy to a personal level, and while the loss and heartache of her characters are certainly fictional, the emotions her story provokes are very real."

		Taking her inspiration from a recent murder trial, Maynard (Baby Love) reimagines the protagonists in fictional form: 22-year-old Suzanne Maretto, a pathologically self-absorbed, ruthlessly ambitious would-be TV journalist, and the three high school misfits she recruits to kill her husband so that she can be free to pursue her chosen career.
		Maynard is, however, more deft in her portrayal of our pervasive, pernicious TV culture, especially its influence on the lower middle class.
		Joyce Maynard did a sterling job of telling this story and it is an honor to her writing prowess that this work reappeared in movie form with a very stellar cast.

		As evidenced by Joyce Maynard's latest novel THE USUAL RULES, 9/11 is now one of these events that characters (read: we) have survived and built a life after and in response to.
		Maynard's stilted style is slightly unconventional and can be jarring at first.
		Maynard's novel is many things --- a coming-of-age story, a story about discovering family, a story about healing --- all set against a national tragedy of singular proportion.

		Which led many in the literary world to protest that Maynard sold out, that she violated the privacy of a literary genius for profit and fame.
		Maynard shows us little bits of the man that fit the fiction: his maniacal care with language, his rapport with children, even his skill at ballroom dancing.
		(The tragedy of this memoir is that Salinger would not, understandably, allow Maynard to quote anything he wrote.) And when Maynard remembers him saying, "But when they start in on your characters—and they do—it's murder," one feels a thrill at the closeness of this man to his fascinating creations.

		Maynard's claim to fame in those days, and it's a toss up as to whether that or her current one is more offensive to me, was that she was the precocious daughter of Harvard professors, who got a publishing contract at an absurdly early age, to write her memoirs of growing up in the 60s.
