Three Early Stories
Three Early Stories | J. D. Salinger
4 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
Three formative short stories by one of the most significant American writers of the twentieth century. A cocktail party conversation is most revealing in what is left unsaid. Tensions between a brother and sister escalate to violent threats. A soldier heading off to war is torn between duty to his country and to his family. These stories, first published in magazines in the 1940s and long out of print, showcase the formidable talent that would blossom in The Catcher in the Rye. The first book by J. D. Salinger to be published in fifty years, Three Early Stories is a crucial addition to the shelves of Salinger fans and newcomers to his work alike.

This is a tiny book of three early stories. One illustration is annoyingly inaccurate.
I felt like some Salinger but wasn‘t sure I could handle how deeply his writing makes me feel in the middle of a stretch of work days. This was a good little dose. I hadn‘t read any of these before somehow.
I think I‘ll end up doing a reread of the others, maybe all of them, this year.
