For Esme - with Love and Squalor

And Other Stories

(Autor) J.D. Salinger
Formato: Paperback
Precio: £0,00

A collection of stories of loss and unsuppressed rage - in which the children are fragile, odd, and hyper-smart and the adults beaten down by circumstances. In "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," Seymour Glass floats his beach mate Sybil on a raft and tells her that these creatures have a tragic flaw; if one swims into a hole filled with bananas, it will overeat until it's too fat to escape. Meanwhile, Seymour's wife, Muriel, is back at their Florida hotel, assuring her mother not to worry - Seymour hasn't lost control. In "The Laughing Man," the narrator remembers how, at nine, he and his fellow Comanches would be picked up each afternoon by the Chief - a Staten Island law student paid to keep them busy. At the end of each day, the Chief tells the saga of a hideously deformed, gentle, criminal who regularly crosses the Paris-China border in order to avoid capture by the internationally famous detective Marcel Dufarge. The masked hero's luck comes to an end on the same day that things go awry between the Chief and his girlfriend
