  • Nine Tales4

    DRFP Wonderfully written, yet each tale is a little too brief to have the same sort of meaning put into both Franny and Zooey short stories. There are some gems in here, no doubt, but Salinger does seem to rely too heavily on the sudden, surprise ending in these works. Once or twice you can forgive; but several of these nine tales rely on a sort of twist ending, something one imagines is below an author as talented as Salinger.

    Still a very good collection but Salinger, despite his great skill, isn't a Raymond Carver when it comes to the short story. by DRFP
