More Salinger Stories
Last Thanksgiving, Magazine History: A Collector’s Blog posted an amazingly comprehensive list of links to 22 of JD Salinger’s uncollected stories, courtesy of the excellent site Dead Caulfields:
Spanning his literary career between the years 1940-1965, these stories display changes in both the author’s style and message. While some are plainly of commercial quality, most are serious works containing an expansive gift of enlightenment and self-examination: that very-satisfying “Salinger moment”.
Each link is accompanied by a brief description of the story and bibliographic information. A taste:
“The Young Folks”
Story March/April 1940. “The Young Folks”, was Salinger’s first published story. It was published in Whit Burnett’s Story magazine. Burnett was the teacher of short story writing at Columbia where Salinger took his course. Salinger himself was twenty one at the time of its publication. The story satirizes the selfish concerns of a pair of young adults at a party and the festering shallowness of their lives.
