D. Salinger to American readers in the years after World War II, including \"A Perfect Day for Bananafish\" and the first appearance of Salinger's fictional Glass family.\nNine exceptional stories from one of the great literary voices of the twentieth century. Witty, urbane, and frequently affecting,\nNine Stories sits alongside Salinger's very best work--a treasure that will passed down for many generations to come. The stories:\n\nA Perfect Day for Bananafish\nUncle Wiggily in Connecticut\nJust Before the War with the Eskimos\nThe Laughing Man\nDown at the Dinghy\nFor Esmé--with Love and Squalor\nPretty Mouth and Green My Eyes\nDe Daumier-Smith's Blue Period\nTeddy\n\n\n\nReview\n\n\n\"J. D. Salinger's writing is original, first-rate, serious, and beautiful. Here are nine of his stories, and one further reason that they are so interesting, and so powerful seen all together, is that they are paradoxes. From the outside, they are often very funny: inside they are about heartbreak, and convey it; they can do this because they are pure...What this reader loves about Mr. Salinger's stories is that they honor what is unique and precious in each person on earth. Their author has the courage--it is more like the earned right and privilege--to experiment at the risk of not being understood. Best of all, he has a loving heart.\"\n--\nEudora Welty,\nNew York Times Book Review\n\n\"The most perfectly balanced collection of stories I know...\nNine Stories is a book I've gone back to at different moments in my life, and I always find something new. I've passionately loved different stories at different times, first 'Teddy, ' later 'For Esmé--with Love and Squalor.' I could list all of them.\"\n--\nAnn Patchett,\nParade\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\nJ. D. Salinger was born in New York City on January 1, 1919, and died in Cornish, New Hampshire, on January 27, 2010.
