I’ve read a lot of stuff spanning from the Greek tragedies to the 20th century classics (i.e. Hemingway, Bukowski, John Fante, Céline, Henry Miller, Lawrence, McCullers, Camus, Waugh, etc.), but I never got to Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye, nor any other works by him. I once picked it up, read the first five pages or so, but had to put it down to concentrate on my college studies even though I was really impressed with the raw quality of his prose. I guess what I’m saying is this: thanks for the recommendation. It never occurred to me to check out his short stories, and I’ll be checking out Nine Stories in the near future.
