This lightly reworked version of a talk in two halves was originally published on www.servinglibrary.org and in Bulletins of The Serving Library 6. It was first presented at Yale Union, Portland, Oregon, during a 2012 exhibition of Saul Steinberg’s work for the New Yorker magazine.

Lead image: Page 42 of The New Yorker, June 6th, 1959. This single page conflates this bulletin’s twin concerns, The New Yorker  and J.D. Salinger, both of which are underscored, auspiciously enough, by Steinberg’s parenthetical man at the foot of the page.
