Joanna Rakoff (Margaret Qualley), an aspiring writer and poet, leaves the sunny town of Berkeley, California for New York City to take a job working under Margaret (Sigourney Weaver) at one of New York’s oldest and most prestigious literary agencies. She soon learns that her agency represents famous American author/recluse J.D. Salinger, and she’s been given a task both monumentally important and tragically useless: responding to his fanmail. As she reads the letters that are sent to him, and she learns the profound effect that Salinger’s words have had on countless strangers, she discovers her own dreams, and even her own connection to J.D. Salinger. A delightful drama with shades of The Devil Wears Prada, MY SALINGER YEAR is an outstanding showcase for the talents of both Margaret Qualley and Sigourney Weaver.
