Set in late 1990s New York, My Salinger Year follows Joanna Rakoff, a hopeful recent graduate who lands a lowly assistant job at a literary agency. Tasked with replying to oddball letters from reclusive author J.D. Salinger, she navigates office politics, mentorship from a formidable editor, and the lure of literary fame. Through friendship, romance, and self-discovery, Joanna confronts art, ambition, and the cost of choosing her own voice in a male-dominated world.
