Salinger J. D. - Alpári történet Esmének szerettel - Nine történet

"Salinger's Nine Stories contains nine short stories, the first of which, When the Banana Fish Bites, tells the story of the suicide of Seymour Glass. The Glass family is Salinger's recurring theme, and the focus of this narrowly tailored oeuvre is Seymour, the unapproachable Artist who is very close to his brothers , whose stories are told by Salinger's alter ego, Buddy Glass, the Writer.
In all of his stories, Salinger focuses on the same thing: the problem of misunderstood otherness, the soaring of the intellect that the average mind cannot grasp or approach, as well as the emotional projection of otherness - which repeatedly remains a mystery to others. And the biggest mystery is death, which - in some absurd and barely comprehensible way, but still - follows logically from the character." (Ildikó Limpár)
