 Classic Salinger story-telling April 14, 1997
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is probably the best collection of short stories I have yet to read. Every story is classic Salinger. The characters seem simple at first, but as the stories move forward, you learn how complex each individual is. Being a Salinger fan, I loved it. I wouldn't recommend "Nine Stories" to just anyone. You have to love what Salinger does with his character's, their seemingly normal (yet ultimately bizzare) lives, and how through not being flashy he creates somthing timeless.
 One of the best book of short stories--even after 40 years. October 10, 1996

These nine stories by J.D. Salinger, who is best known for"The Catcher in the Rye," were culled from the many stories Salinger wrote for magazines. Even after 40 years, these nine stories--the best of the best--still provoke and lend insight into the human condition. After some of the pieces, such as "Perfect Day for Bananafish" and "Teddy," people may ask themselves "Why?" The answers are within the stories. Like myself, you find yourself reading them again, not only for more meaning but also just because you want to be with the characters some more. Highly recommended.
