Salinger and Pynchon (was: GR in SF Chronicle today)

[Otto Sell]

Paul,
Thank you for
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A59395-2000Aug31.html

The other thing is that he's mostly known for the *Catcher In The Rye" - but
his other three books are very good too, in my opinion even better:
These are the other three apart from the two GR's for the island.

Nine Stories (1948-1953)
Franny and Zooey (1955, 1957, 1961)
Raise High The Roofbeam, Carpenters And Seymour An Introduction  (1955,
1959)

Is there anything to read from Salinger apart from this?

"The aesthetic evil of a footnote seems in order just here, I'm afraid."
(Franny and Zooey, p. 47, Penguin)

Otto (already waiting for decades for news from the Glass-family)
