About the book

In honour of the centennial of the birth of J.D. Salinger in 1919, Penguin reissues all four of his books in beautiful commemorative hardback editions - with artwork and text based on the very first Salinger editions published in the 1950s and 1960s.

A collection of nine exceptional stories from one of the great American voices of the twentieth century. Witty, urbane and frequently affecting, For Esmé - with Love and Squalor sits alongside Salinger's very best work - a gem that will be passed down for many generations to come.

'The most perfectly balanced collection of stories I know' Ann Patchett

This has been my second J. D. Salinger read (the first being The Catcher in the Rye), so I can't say too much about the authors' writing. What I can say is that this short story has been well rounded! You get to know the main characters as well as you might in a short story, there's enough background that you know where the story is set in and enough events happening that the storytelling doesn't feel empty. I felt with the main character – the emotions were transported well. All in all, I enjoyed reading it!
