La diferencia entre La llamada de la tribu y otros títulos como El pez en el agua es que aquí el protagonismo no lo tienen las vivencias del autor, sino las lecturas que moldearon su forma de pensar y de ver el mundo en los últimos cincuenta años.

Three years after his death at 91, J.D. Salinger remains our most mythic writer. The Catcher in the Rye (1951) became an American classic, and he was for a long time the writer for The New Yorker. Franny and Zooey and Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters introduced, by way of the Glass family, a new type in contemporary literature: the introspective, voluble cast of characters whose stage is the Upper East Side of New York. But fame proved a burden, and in 1953 Salinger fled to New Hampshire, spending the next half century in isolation.

"Recuerdo la mañana en que conocí a Octavio Paz. Fue el 11 de marzo de 1976, en el Panteón Jardín, cuando un grupo de amigos despedíamos al gran ensayista Daniel Cosío Villegas [...] Me acerqué a él para proponerle la publicación en su revista Plural de un ensayo mío sobre el ilustre liberal recién desaparecido. Días después, mi nombre apareció junto al suyo, pero nunca sospeché que ese vínculo sería permanente."

Cumplir cincuenta años sigue siendo algo inquietante, a pesar del progreso científico, del retraso de la mortalidad y del aumento en la calidad de la vida contemporánea. El escritor Fernando Iwasaki lo comprobó cuando compiló las crónicas que publicó en el suplemento «Laberinto» del diario Milenio y entonces decidió titularlas El laberinto de los cincuenta porque “al releerlas descubrí divertido el típico tono retro, a veces enfurruñado, siempre nostálgico y en cualquier caso amarrido....
