WHIM EXCLUSIVE: J.D. Salinger, the Final Interview
Three years ago, reclusive author J.D. Salinger approached us to offer his first interview since 1980. The interview was contingent upon two things: 1. We start a humor magazine in the winter of ’09. 2. We wait to release the interview until after he dies. Salinger died yesterday at age 91. He met us in 2006 at a coffee shop in Cornish, New Hampshire. The following is that transcription.

Whim Issue #2 Production: On Target!
There are many steps involved in the production of a high-quality, paper-based, comedy-entertainment product. Right now we, the diligent staff of Whim Quarterly, are firmly rooted in step #57 (paring down references to the French Revolution) and looking toward step #58 (increasing the number of knock-knock jokes). In other words, we’re right on schedule.
Other key steps involved in this very difficult process:
- #18 – Experimenting with the replacement of the standard four color CMYK printing process with the highly controversial 21-color IMNDGOWYEIGNDLDIGPQDX printing.
- #96 – Visiting local Masonic Temple and having high priests copy-edit the Contributors section.
- #163 – Tweeting about what Dame Judi Dench decided to wear to the SAG Awards.
- #7221 – Staff pizza party (no gluten, no dairy, no meat, no black olives).
As you can see, we have quite a ways to go, but Whim Issue #2 should be in the mail around March 15th.
