Jerome David Salinger

“Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behaviour. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as some day, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.”

The New Yorker ha deixat en obert els relats que Salinger va publicar al setmanari entre 1946 i 1965.

Perquè tots, absolutament tots, ens vam enamorar en algún moment de Holden Caulfield.

el llibreter ha dit...

Quedaran les hores i hores i hores de lectura, la sensació de llegir una cosa estranya i sensacional, potser massa d'hora, massa jove, però amb el plaer de tornar-hi tants cops com volgués al llarg dels anys.

Salutacions cordials.
