Status Updates From Dokuz Öykü

Poi,con uno zelo di cui per molte settimane non era più stato capace,prese un mozzicone di matita e scrisse sotto l'iscrizione,in inglese: "Padri e maestri,io mi chiedo 'Che cos'è l'inferno?' Io affermo che è il tormento di non essere capaci d'amore".

Turns out a bananafish is not an actual species of fish.

5 down, 4 to go.

She reached into her coat pocket for her purse and found the sandwich half. She took it out and started to bring her arm down, to drop the sandwich into the street, but instead she put it back into her pocket. A few years before, it had taken her three days to dispose of the Easter chick she had found dead in the bottom of her wastebasket.

Read the first three stories.

For Esme wasn't anything I liked more or less the second time around. I feel like it would resonate more if I was freshly out of WWII. I feel bad for saying that about a masterpiece.

So good. Salinger is amazing.

I feel like a lot of contemporary artists could take a note from Salinger. "This is how you leave them unsettled."

I think I've read these in the past, but not as part of this collection. A Perfect Day for Bananafish gets me every time.

Just finished reading A perfect day for bananafish

I love reading about the Glass family so much

Salinger okumayi cok ozledim!

One story mentioned my hometown, it was trippy.

Starting my first read of the Booktubeathon!

One more story left. These are absolutely beautiful.

Interesting... I'm finding the ends of the short stories require a lot of imagination in order for you to come to your own conclusion.

I LOVE these stories!

The first 2 stories are great, especially Seymour's.

WTF at Bananafish

I'm addicted to Salinger's writing style.

Finished Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut and loved it. J.D. Salinger is the master of short stories.

I don't quite get this second story...

Just finished the first story. I don't know if i'll ever hear of these characters again but it's cool and scary. Salinger does not disappoint.

I had no idea short stories could be like this.

Salinger y sus mundos, llenos de pena invisible, surcando el aire.

These endings to his short stories are killing me! They end so abruptly!

Wow I'm left wanting so much MORE after each short story because they're so good!!! Torture !

One story left. I'm loving this

I just finished the third story and I love Salinger so goddamn much. He just kills me.

"Do you think you can bring yourself to take your stinking feet off my bed?" X asked.
Clay left his feet where they were for a few don't-tell-me-where-to-put-my-feet seconds, then swung them around to the floor and sat up. (!)
