By Rosemary, Australia

"One of my favourite books of all time. Its pages are turning yellow on my shelf. My second-favourite Salinger (the favourite, of course, is Catcher in the Rye). One of the two books of short stories I most recommend to writing students as demonstrating mastery of the art. (The other is Irwin Shaw's Tip on a Dead Jockey. Raymond Carver, whose poetry I adore and admire, is lower on the short story list.)"

"I read the title story- pretty perfect, but did not make it to my favorite Salinger- but It would be my first or second reccomendation to someone else."
