[She takes the seat and quickly takes a sip of her drink trying to brush away an annoying inkling that she knows who he is. Of course, she should know better than to ignore her gut on something like this. But then, does it really matter? The assignment is still the same either way.

I wouldn't know. I know the name, but I don't think I've read anything by him.
His work is considered part of the classics. Can't say it's an enjoyable read.
[ Personally, he doesn't find Salinger very engaging. Contractor or not. Holden Caulfield is not a protagonist he wants to know or follow in the footsteps of. But personal taste in reading isn't what he's here to wax poetic about. Instead, he turns a little, reaches into the small messenger bag he'd brought along and sets another book on the table.

The book itself is another classic– Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Maybe the choice was a little on the nose. ]
You might like this one, though. A bit sci-fi mixed with government corruption. Pardon my assumption, but it seems like it'd run in your interests.
