ღმერთო, პირველივე მოთხრობად "ბანანა-თევზის ამინდი" და, შემდეგები უბრალო აჩრდილებად მეჩვენება. აჰ, სიმორ გლას..

Ho appena letto il racconto che poi mi incuriosiva ossia Per Esmé, con amore e squallore… non so cosa mi aspettassi ma non questo di sicuro.
Non capisco bene il rapporto con i personaggi più giovani, in questo caso Esmé ha 13 anni più o meno e lui cosa vuole da lei?
E lei si comporta come una ragazza più grande…

This book is amazing and playful, very similar to the rhetoric of a Japanese koan.

I think all short stories inherently remind me of 7th grade English class

Don’t feel like reading much do to the 15,0000 words I have written in the past month (not exaggerating) which means I spend every waking minute of my days reading stuff for school to write stupid things. But alas. I didn’t realize Salinger was a postwar writer nor did I think he was this dark and some of the short stories worked better than others but he is a great writer through and through

Hands down, this Salinger guy is an absolute mad man when it comes to writing. Currently, A Perfect Day for Bananafish is the best, and Down at the Dinghy is the least compelling, for me.

Great short stories from the post-war shiny times. Why wasnt someone making me read these in high school? The Catcher in the Rye scared everyone off. You get a real time-shift from Salinger, and short stories with endings that send a mysterious vibration, a tremolo, back through what you just read.
