My Salinger Year

A mid-20s assistant lands an entry-level gig at a literary agency guarding a famously withdrawn author. She fields fan mail for J.D. Salinger while sorting out her own writing ambitions. A tidy workplace comedy-drama about chasing dreams behind the scenes, carried by a standout first-time lead.
