The book includes two of Salinger's most famous and critically acclaimed pieces, which helped to establish him among contemporary literary greats. The title story - a soldier's recollection of his meeting with a young girl, Esme, before being sent into combat - prompted a flood of readers' letters when it was first published in "The New Yorker in 1950". The haunting, "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" is the first of the author's many stories to feature the Glass family and follows eldest sibling, Seymour Glass, and his wife, Muriel, as they honeymoon in Florida. 8634 1986 For Esme—With Love and Squalor, and Other Stories total:1117|5:482|4:438|3:173|2:20|1:4| 1117 4725 1549 27 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1959 Sun Nov 08 13:01:11 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 13:08:57 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Feb 01 19:50:42 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 01 19:57:01 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Jun 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 09:06:39 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 09:10:20 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Oct 25 18:03:23 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 18:04:38 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Tue Sep 22 23:07:56 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 23:14:51 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon May 04 19:30:59 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 19:31:56 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Nov 28 03:30:18 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 03:31:36 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Wed Aug 19 20:30:51 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 20:31:19 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Oct 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 14:11:13 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 23:16:30 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jan 30 20:52:52 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 30 20:58:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 03 15:00:27 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 15:00:48 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 17 01:34:11 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 01:34:11 -0700 2009 5 0 false true Sat Jul 04 02:20:45 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 02:21:07 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 00:06:36 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 08:06:34 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Aug 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 17 06:51:41 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 17 06:53:49 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2003 Thu May 03 03:08:00 -0700 2007 Thu May 03 03:10:09 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Sun Jul 13 22:14:10 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 13 22:16:47 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 15 08:25:55 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 22 14:16:12 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Jun 05 16:58:02 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 05 17:00:08 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Sat Apr 07 07:02:19 -0700 2007 Sat Apr 07 07:07:57 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=5116
