Description
'This is the squalid, or moving, part of the story, and the scene changes. The people change, too. I'm still around, but from here on in, for reasons I'm not at liberty to disclose, I've disguised myself so cunningly that even the cleverest reader will fail to recognize me.'
This collection of nine stories includes the first appearance of J. D. Salinger's fictional Glass family, introducing Seymour Glass in the unforgettable 'A Perfect Day for Bananafish'.
'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!
