Salinger’s Nine Stories by Joe Cloyd http://savetheshortstory.org/2010/02/04/remembering-jd-salingers-nine-stories/#comment-9219 Joe Cloyd Sun, 07 Feb 2010 18:50:21 +0000 http://savetheshortstory.org/2010/02/04/remembering-jd-salingers-nine-stories/#comment-9219 I’m almost 33, have a B.A. in English, but have never read Salinger. 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.

Perhaps by rounding up some major grants to develop exportable production of short stories,micro stories ,mini and flash fiction;the works,I have over 100 ready to be launched at my site;some one give a publishing hand to all this hard work.
