Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction by J.D. Salinger

3.0

I first read this in college, and a dear friend gave me to collection for Christmas prompting a re-read. "Raise High" stands the test of time, a carefully crafted, enigmatic, and thought-provoking read. "Seymour" did not capture my imagination this time around. It seemed obscure and overdone and I struggled to find the narrative arc. I don't remember how well I liked it 35 years ago.
