These are getting too easy. Try this one. Author and composition.

I know the author, but sadly, not the composition, it eludes me.

Hang on, the minus is to remove the k from Klinger, so JD Salinger, Fanny and Zooey?

Yeah, just looked it up. I think we had to read it in high school or somewhere in that era. Couldn't understand it so went back to proper novels by real life writers 😉 (Harold Robbins, Robert Ruark et al).

A Stone for Danny Fisher, Gold & The Carpetbaggers are still among my favourite Harold Robbins books.

Right on! It is actually Franny and Zooey. Still trying for a real tough one!

I knew it! I knew it! My excuse is that I just got up. A few seconds and a few pennies short.

Jim nailed it. Hard to get one passed him when he's in form.

Try this one for size, sleuths. Clues should not be necessary.

Guess again.

We've just got back from dinner at this great pub, and I'm having a nightcap, so maybe I'll have another look at it in the morning.
