	Nine Stories (Salinger) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nine Stories (1953) is collection of short stories by American fiction writer J.
		It includes two of his most famous short stories, "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" and "For Esmé with Love and Squalor." (Nine Stories is the U.S. title, and the book is published in many other countries as For Esmé - with Love and Squalor, and Other Stories.)
		Singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb's band is named after this collection of stories.

	Nine Stories
		Salinger vacillated for years between his desire to first publish a novel and his editor's urging that he first publish a collection of short stories.
		Enraptured by this story, the children are thrown to the mercy of it's teller- the Chief -who fashions it to the whims of his doomed relationship with his vibrant summer-girlfriend.
		The interaction between mother and son as Boo Boo coaxes Lionel from the dinghy is deep and symbolic, causing this story to shine.

	English: Style of J. D. Salinger
		Salinger uses much of the Zen philosophy, as in the case of Nine Stories, to achieve this liberation (Madsen 93).
		In Nine Stories one of the characters, Seymour Glass, is portrayed as Buddha in the sense that he wants to be liberated as Buddha was in his life (Madsen 93).
		Salinger portrays how Holden in Catcher in the Rye changes to a different man when he is at the water fountain in Central Park, as the case in Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn in which Huck changes when he is on the Mississippi River (Grunwald in Bloom 64).

	Dead Caulfields Home
		The Unpublished Stories section had once again been updated with the addition of a 1950 piece titled "Requiem for the Phantom of the Opera," the first story that Salinger penned after he completed The Catcher in the Rye.
		The characters of JD Salinger are not fabrications, they are you and I. Their triumphs are the same triumphs contained in the seemingly average moments of our lives that we overlook.
		But thoughtful readers of JD Salinger will realize that the Caulfields never really die; that death is a spiritual state that we struggle against from the moment of awareness; that the loss of "innocence" is actually the loss of the ignorance of that struggle.

	hackwriters.com - In Depth Review of J.D. Salingers' 'Nine Stories' by Dan Schneider
		Salinger, to me, seems much more akin to James Joyce in the fact that one can argue he is a great writer, with moments of brilliance, but not a great short story writer, just as Joyce was not a great novelist.
		Salinger’s short stories were recommended to me for his dialogue by a friend, but it is his descriptive powers that are his greatest strength, not his conversational exchanges.
		Salinger is not a prophet against shallowness, rather an advocate of a different form of shallowness- intellectual shallowness to narcotize one from life’s pain, rather than the more manifest spiritual shallowness.

		Salinger was obviously a great storyteller, but the endings to most of his stories are too glamorously shocking to be shocking at all.
		Salinger's fiction doesn't read like anyone else's, especially when you move beyond "Catcher." "Nine Stories" is the most mainstream, and also most engaging and best-written, example of his Zen approach to fiction, both in substance and form.
		But "Nine Stories" is the distilled essence of his vision in perfect digestible form, an episodic novel of people at crossroads in their lives coming to terms with their places in the cosmos.

		Salinger's merits are often confused with nostalgia for his impact on 1950's youth, but this essay says that, "It's nostalgia, as a matter of fact, that can keep us from seeing and saying that Salinger is one of the very best living writers.
		Salinger filed a suit to block a biography, "J. Salinger: A Writing Life" by Ian Hamilton, contending that its use of unpublished letters violated copyright laws.
		Salinger's daughter Margaret (Peggy) Salinger announced that she is preparing to publish a memoir of her childhood and relationship with her father.

		There always seems to be a sadness that blankets the story and his sense of tragedy and sorrow are very subtle, but poignant.
		It's hard to summarize Nine Stories in such a short space, so I will just go in directly and say that (like all of Salinger's other work) these stories are both meaningful and fun to read.
		Nine Stories is a great book, whith great stories and from a great author.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: Biography of J.D. Salinger
		Salinger's only novel drew from characters he had already created in two short stories published in 1945 and 1946, "This Sandwich Has No Mayonnaise" and "I'm Crazy." The latter story is an alternate take on several of the chapters in The Catcher in the Rye.
		Salinger followed The Catcher in the Rye with Nine Stories (1953), a selection of his best literary work, and Franny and Zooey in 1961, which draws from two earlier stories in The New Yorker.
		Although details about Salinger are notoriously vague because of his reclusive nature, which has made him the subject of a great deal of speculation.

		In the second story, her next older brother, Zooey, attempts to heal Franny by pointing out that her constant repetition of the "Jesus prayer" is as self-involved and egotistical as the egotism against which she rails.
		Salinger's uncanny depiction of the anguish of youth, coupled with Eastern mysticism and an eccentric but lovable family became a cult classic in the 50's.
		Salinger abandons the discipline and wonderful ambiguity of "Franny" for a rambling philosophical tract that seems to be written more for Salinger and his fictional brainchildren than any outside reader.

		Salinger explored the complexities of modern life as few American writers have, in limpid, deceptively simple, pitch-perfect prose.
		Salinger peels away appearances, often ruthlessly, in "Uncle Wiggily from Connecticut", in which a visit from a former college roommate causes a tumultuous upheaval of reflection and regret in a contented suburban housewife.
		It is said that Salinger was willing to publish only in The New Yorker, which for him was the only worthwhile magazine in America.

	Studies in Short Fiction: "Along this road goes no one": Salinger's "Teddy" and the failure of love - J. D. Salinger - ...
		The Nine Stories collection is brilliant, but it is seemingly marred by the final story, "Teddy." Salinger himself seems to dismiss the story.
		But despite these seemingly well-founded objections, I will argue that the story is highly successful--indeed deeply moving--when we understand that "Teddy" is the story not of a cool and detached mystical prodigy, but of an unloved, frightened 10-year-old.
		What has happened is this: in defensive reaction to the egotism, lovelessness, and incessant hostility of his parents toward each other and toward their children, and reinforced by his sense of the vulgarity, selfishness, and materialism of grown-up life, Teddy has instinctively felt his way to creating his persona of the mystic savant.

		For example, you might choose to write your paper on the very intricate story "Hapworth 16, 1924." The research paper assignment in this course offers students the opportunity to engage in all kinds of primary study that is typical of the traditional literary research pape.
		Your thesis should be something more specific than "I like Salinger," or "Here is an interesting trend." For example, you should organize the evidence of your paper around a forceful thesis that you intend to prove.
		You might argue that mental illness is portrayed as enlightenment in Salinger's work, or that stories which appear to be "plotless" yield definite actions and themes upon close reading.

		Fifty years ago, J. Salinger published Nine Stories, his second book and arguably the highpoint of his foreshortened publishing career.
		Nine Stories was the best-selling collection that introduced and killed Seymour Glass--the brooding figure that gave rise to the Glass family dynasty, the fictional subject that held Salinger's attention until he stopped publishing in 1965.
		It was with this book that Salinger's art and life intersected best, where his Zen interests coalesced with his emerging themes, where he gave new life to the American short story.

		He is able to paint exquisite pictures of people with their words and mannerismns, often needing little else to move story's narrative.
		Salinger, for the most part, provides much stronger endings than are popular with today's slice-of-life short fiction.
		Salinger's style is so unique and wonderful, I gobbled up these stories in a day, and then went back and read them all again.

		On this day in 1948, J. Salinger's "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" was published in the New Yorker; in the same magazine, on the same day in 1953, Salinger's "Teddy" also appeared.
		These are the first and last selections in Nine Stories (1953), Salinger's only collection.
		Though still fifteen months away from The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger had many stories published in the high-circulation magazines at this point; "Esme" would help push him into the spotlight, and accelerate his flight from it.

		I was able to locate a description of this alleged story.
		I learned that in addition to the Glass-family chronicle, he has also written a screenplay, a draft of some kind, in which his faithful Glass-family narrator and alter ego, Buddy, is forced to confront criticism of the increasingly murky and mystical turn S.'s later Seymour-obsessed Glass-family stories have taken.
		I doubt that Salinger (as anti-film as he was, especially later in life) would have done any screenwriting.
