1943125198Chicago: Consolidated Book Publishers Inc. 1943. First edition second issue of this classic World War II-era short story collection containing J.D. Salinger's third published short story and first appearance in book form. 12mo original illustrated boards illustrated. Complied by R.M. Barrows edited by E. X. Pastor and with contributions from J.D. Salinger Richard Armour Hurd Barrett Pat Frank O. Henry Rudyard Kipling Jack Leonard and Damon Runyan among others. In very good condition. Best-known for his novel The Catcher in the Rye American author J.D. Salinger published several short stories and five books throughout his lifetime. In a contributor's note Salinger gave to Harper's Magazine in 1946 he wrote: "I almost always write about very young people" a statement that has been referred to as his credo. Adolescents are featured or appear in all of Salinger's work from his first published short story "The Young Folks" 1940 to The Catcher in the Rye and his Glass family stories. In 1961 the critic Alfred Kazin explained that Salinger's choice of teenagers as a subject matter was one reason for his appeal to young readers but another was "a consciousness among youths that he speaks for them and virtually to them in a language that is peculiarly honest and their own with a vision of things that capture their most secret judgments of the world." For this reason Norman Mailer once remarked that Salinger was "the greatest mind ever to stay in prep school." Consolidated Book Publishers, Inc. hardcover books
