Based on Joanna Rakoff’s memoir of the same name, the story centers on Joanna (Qualley), who dreams of being an author but finds it to be a difficult path in 1990s New York.
Though her private life sees her distancing herself from her socialist boyfriend, her work sees her progress towards her dream job through Salinger.
Following its debut at the Berlin International Film Festival in February, IFC Films and Mongrel Media have debuted the first trailer for the film adaptation of My Salinger Year starring Margaret Qualley (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) in the lead role.
The film is currently slated for a theatrical release on Friday, November 13.
