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

5.0

Imagining all the emotions of literature spread out in a linear representation would require a huge line. What Salinger does in these short stories is to examine a very narrow range on that scale. Even in such smallness, he finds vastness. The subtle extraordinary of every day life is distilled in these pages. I fear I can do no justice in describing it.
