	Hapworth 16, 1924 - by Dan Geddes
		Because Hapworth 16, 1924 is not only Salinger's worst post-Catcher in the Rye (1951) effort, it deserves some special award for authorial self-indulgence.
		The attention it generates is a result of Salinger's infamous thirty-two-year literary silence ("Hapworth, 16, 1924," appeared in the June 19, 1965 edition of The New Yorker), and his readers' affection for his previous fiction, rather than the work's merits.
		In Hapworth the roles are somewhat reversed, as Seymour, armed with his "new and entirely trivial mastery of written construction and decent sentence formation," writes about the wonders of young Buddy.

	From Salinger, A New Dash Of Mystery
		Salinger is bringing out another book, not a new story, but one called ''Hapworth 16, 1924,'' which appeared in The New Yorker in the 1960's.
		Salinger, an air of mystery hovers about the publication of ''Hapworth.'' His agent has not returned phone calls, and even bookstores say they do not know exactly when they will have copies of the book for sale, this month, perhaps, or March or April.
		It is something of a shock, then, to meet the Seymour presented in ''Hapworth'': an obnoxious child given to angry outbursts.

	A Brief Biography of J. D. Salinger
		Salinger agreed to allow his last story from the New Yorker, Hapworth 16, 1924 to be published by Orchises Press of Virginia but when it will be out is anybody's guess.
		The new Hapworth 16, 1924 piece actually appeared in the June 19th issue of the New Yorker in 1965.
		Hapworth might be the piece where Salinger is asking us to be disillusioned with the whole Glass myth.

	SALON Daily Clicks: Media Circus
		Well, sort of new: titled "Hapworth 16, 1924," the book will put between hard covers a novella that first appeared in the June 19, 1965 issue of The New Yorker.
		If you don't happen to have a copy of the June 19, 1965, New Yorker lying around the house, "Hapworth 16, 1924" is told in the form of a letter from the precocious 7-year-old Seymour Glass to his family.
		Or, if "Hapworth 16, 1924" wins a major book award this year, Salinger could reprise Pynchon's prankish non-appearance at the 1974 National Book Award ceremonies, where his novel "Gravity's Rainbow" was honored.

		The story behind "Hapworth 16, 1924" is better known than the story itself, its place in the annals of modern literary debacles secure alongside Ford Motor's paying Carole Matthews to have her heroines drive their cars and Franzen v.
		New York Times critic Michiko Kakutani rushed to deride it as a "sour, implausible and sad to say, completely charmless story." A series of apparently unrelated, yet unexplained delays pushed back the release until Amazon finally pulled the title from their website in 2002 and the project was apparently scrapped.
		This was partly due to the strain on my eyes of the blurry white-on-fl text, but mainly because I suspected it would be the last thing I'd ever read by Salinger for the very first time.

	Salon \| The worst books of 1997, page 3
		It's one thing, after all, to take advantage of a situation, but another to suggest you're doing it to "provide some measure of resolution to those who continue to obsess about this case." I don't know about you, but if I were after resolution, the last place I'd look would be a novel like this.
		This was the subject of much conjecture early in the year when it was revealed that Salinger had decided to break his 32-year silence and issue this 20,000-word novella with Orchises Press of Alexandria, Va. Then, the book's release was delayed, first from March to June, then until December.
		There's something ironic about "Hapworth" marking Salinger's "re-emergence," since for years cultists have combed the text for clues about his withdrawal from public life.

	J.D. Salinger Revisited by Gail Jarvis
		In fact, it would take quite a stretch to even apply the designation "story" in connection with the final two installments in the Glass family saga which contain no plot or story line but are simply glowing tributes to Seymour.
		It is a protracted and often tedious letter from Seymour to his family written from a summer camp he was attending with his younger brother Buddy; the boys’ ages being seven and five.
		Although the two young boys might be described as savants, their intellectual attainments as implied by their literary tastes, are simply not creditable.

		Michiko Kakutani's article about it, which was the lead story on the New York Times arts page of February 20, appeared long before the book's publication and attests to the seriousness with which this unlikely development is being viewed in literary circles.
		The artistic problems with "Hapworth 16, 1924," are of another kind.
		In all its myriad asides and precocious meditations on sexuality and literature, it stands to an average child's letter from camp in much the same way that Mozart's variations on the theme of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" stand to the original jingle.

		Because the author of The Catcher in the Rye had been submerged in the silence of his self-imposed exile for 34 years, the promised spring 1997 appearance of Hapworth 16, 1924 was a literary event of some magnitude.
		The eventual response to Hapworth would help him gauge whether or not he would still be able to continue cultivating his work-in-progress "with all its faculties intact" after exposing a portion of it to the book world's slings and arrows, insults and inanities
		Kakutani actually includes the reference to "heartless indifferences" in the quote she's using to show us the "obnoxious child" in action suggests how out of sympathy she is with a work wholly driven by a sometimes funny, often charming, and generally wildly indiscriminate compassion for humanity.

	The Return of J.D.Salinger?
		Now I have to ask myself, am I enough of a fan to dish out $16 for a mediocre story (see box "Hapworth 16, 1997") I've already read.
		Even in 1965, Hapworth 16, 1924 was a long time coming because Salinger had not published anything "new" since Seymour, An Introduction in 1959.
		The most common complaint against Hapworth has been that it should have been at most half its published length, ending at the point where Seymour finds another pad of paper and takes off again in what has been called "a pompous display of erudition".

		Since he never put the story between hard covers, readers had to seek out a copy of that issue or find it on microfilm.
		In 2000, Orchises Press, a small publishing house in Virginia, announced that it would reprint "Hapworth," and received substantial coverage in the press.
		Shortly before the books were to be shipped, Salinger changed his mind, and in accordance with his wishes, Orchises withdrew the work.

		Sean Manning rereads "Hapworth 16, 1924" from the New Yorker DVD set.
		One of my high school teachers tipped me off to the existence of the story (I had devoured the rest of Salinger in print), so sometime in the early 70s I trolleyed down to the library at the University of Dayton and read "Hapworth" in a bound copy of the magazine.
		Given the state of copier technology at the time and the amount of change in my pocket, I didn't make a copy of the story, to my regret.

	Glass family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seymour is featured in "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters," "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," "Hapworth 16, 1924," and "Seymour: An Introduction." He is the author of the letter that comprises the story of "Hapworth" and is the main character in "Bananafish".
		Buddy was very close to Seymour before Seymour committed suicide in 1948, and he narrates most of the Glass stories in his attempt to connect with his dead brother.
		Beatrice "Boo Boo" Glass (1921-Present): Married, mother of three children, Boo Boo appears centrally in "Down at the Dinghy," is mentioned in "Hapworth 16, 1924," and is often referenced in "Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters" as the "sea-faring" Glass sibling currently occupying the New York apartment where much of the story's action takes place.

		Located in Alexandria, Virginia, Orchises has in fact published more than 50 titles and was founded by Lathbury in 1983; while the small literary and general press focuses on original poetry, it also publishes memoirs, essays and reprints.

		A consequence of Salinger's evasions is that he has become as famous for defending his privacy against nosy admirers and journalists as he is for writing The Catcher in the Rye (1951), the Huckleberry Finn of the Silent Generation.
		Salinger's last published story, Hapworth 16, 1924, appeared in The New Yorker in 1965, twelve years after he withdrew to 90 wooded acres in Cornish, N.H. He has been generally successful in protecting his solitude.
		But because he refuses to collaborate in the making of his own legend ("Because I might get to believe it," he told an inquirer years ago), Salinger has been less able to control what is written about him.
