J. D. Salinger : ThreeEarly Stories (Illustrated) before purchasing it in order togage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praisedThree Early Stories (Illustrated):

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Stange stories.ByShelley. The first two stories were bad. They made no sense. Butthen most of his stories did not make sense. Even Catcher in theRye although it is a good book it still left you feeling as thoughwhat is the point. Now that I am older and have read it a secondtime I get the idea of it. A young man coming of age as it were.The last story in this collection is really good. It made a greatpoint. It is about a young man going off to war in world war two.He is making sure that his dear old Aunt is going to be taken careof by his wife. He wants to be sure she gets out of the house. Hewants to be sure that she will be taken to the movies. He keepssaying it won't kill you. The Aunt is more concerned about him andhow he will fare going off to war. He in turn is more concernedabout her. It really makes for a good story. Really gets you tothink about what is really important. This was the only story outof the 3 that I did like.0 of 0 people found the following reviewhelpful. "See if you can't get something better on the radio! Imean who can dance to that stuff?"By Michael J. EttnerThis volumeof "Three Early Stories" is a small sampling of the apprenticewriting Salinger produced in the 1940's.The book opens with theauthor's remarkably self-assured first published story, "The YoungFolks" from 1940. It recounts a minor episode in which twoself-absorbed young adults fail to connect -- an experience thatwould become a signature interest of Salinger in his maturewritings.Next is "Go See Eddie," also from 1940, an augury of thewriter's later fascination with his characters' secrets.The bookcloses with a show of Salinger's sentimental side in "Once a WeekWon't Kill You" (1943), whose protagonist is about to leave hisyoung wife for service in World War II. The story addressessomething described by Salinger's contemporary, Saul Bellow, as thecondition of being a "dangling man" (in Bellow's 1944 novel of thatname, Dangling Man (Penguin Classics). This also happens todescribe Salinger's personal status at the time that he wrote thestory, on the eve of his own experience of combat in the war'sEuropean theater.These stories are very brief, each filling about10 pages in length in the book version. That's one-third theaverage length of the stories in Nine Stories, the collection ofmature tales selected by Salinger himself as worthy ofpreservation. In fact, even the shortest story in "Nine Stories" istwice the length of the longest of the three "Early Stories." Allin all "Nine Stories" contains nearly ten times as much text as"Three Early Stories." If you buy the physical book, its meagercontents won't be evident at first glance. But when you hold itopen in your hands, you'll find the text is printed on the rightside only. Except for ten full-page illustrations by Anna RoseYoken, the pages on the left side are blank.Salinger situates theaction in these stories entirely indoors, and conversationdominates. This imposes a "staginess" on the proceedings. Theimpression is of Salinger transferring to the written page therhythms and gestures, both vocal and physical, of dramas heimagined unfolding on a New York theater stage of the period. Noneof the stories contains children, and for a reader hoping to hearthe softer notes of Salinger's world, their absence will befelt.Instead, darker notes are in control. Each reader must decidefor themselves whether to forgive off-putting elements such as acloying air of privilege surrounding most all the characters. Trioof male leads are moody and irritable. also, if you're familiarwith Salinger's biography you know there's evidence he was notparticularly kind to women. In that vein, these early storiescontain a foul whiff of misogyny in the author's treatment of hisfemale leads. There's no way getting around the fact that Salingerdelighted in creating, and then dissecting, characters who aresnobbish, phony, petty, none-to-bright, or of dubious morals.Yetfor readers familiar with the course of Salinger's writing,pleasure will come from detecting other, more glorious elements ofhis style, found here in early form. The book, small though it maybe, confirms what Ian Hamilton wrote in In Search of J. D.Salinger, A Biography about the significance of these initialexercises: "[They] taught him to handle the mechanics of narrativewith a technician's self-assurance."Yes, from the very start theguy had the goods. There's the wizardly way Salinger propels hisnarratives through dialog -- arch, well-honed, slangy andcharacter-defining. The most radical honing occurs when Salingerchooses to withhold from the reader one-half of a couple'sconversation -- is there another author who can match Salinger'sclever exposure of just one side of a telephone call that somehowtells the reader all you need to know? His use of misdirectionmeans you will be surprised by a sudden turn every page or two. The"reveals" in the plots are perfectly placed. And don't drop yourattention: when reading "The Young Folks," for example, remember tokeep count of the cigarettes.You could say that the details -- allthose meticulously recorded habits and idiosyncrasies -- ARE thestories. In each of the settings characters yawn. They bite theirfingernails. They smoke cigarettes pretty much all the time (therituals of that habit are painstakingly observed). Relationships,whether they are between young singles on the prowl (in "The YoungFolks"), or between brother and sister and between a young marriedcouple in the other two tales, are fraught with insincerities anddisappointments. All too often human beings are "bored orapprehensive, annoyed or resigned." Their nervous exasperation inlife is summed up by one partygoer's effort to "try to getsomething better on the radio!"1 of 1 people found the followingreview helpful. Very goodBy Penelope FrancisI love J.D Salinger(who doesn't?) and only give this a 4 star instead of a 5 becausethe latter stories are so much better, but, this is still a greatlittle collection of his writing and any fan of Salinger shouldpick up a copy to add to his or her library.

A young and ambitious writer named Jerome David Salinger set hisgoals very high very early in his career. He almost desperatelywished to publish his early stories in The New Yorker magazine, thepinnacle, he felt, of America's literary world. But such was not tobe for several long years and the length of one long world war. TheNew Yorker, whose tastes in literary matters were and remainnotoriously prim and fickle, was not quite ready for this brash andover-confident newcomer with the cynical worldview and his habit ofslangy dialogue. But other magazines were quick to recognize a newtalent, a fresh voice at a time when the world verged on madness.Story magazine, an esteemed and influential small circulationjournal devoted exclusively to the art of the short story and stillactive and respected today, was the first publication to publishthe name J.D. Salinger and the story "The Young Folks" in 1940, animpressive view of New York's cocktail society and two young peopletalking past one another, their conversation almost completelymeaningless and empty. His next short story was published in acollege journal, The University of Kansas City Review, "Go SeeEddie," a tale of quiet menace as an unsavory male charactergradually turns up the pressure on a young lady to see a man namedEddie. Also published in 1940, the story is notable for thebackstory that is omitted - a technique that Hemingway used togreat effect. Four years later toward the end of Salinger's warexperience saw the publication of "Once A Week Won't Kill You,"again in Story magazine. Ostensibly about a newly minted soldiertrying to tell an aging aunt he is going off to war, some may seethe story as a metaphor for preparing one's family for thepossibility of wartime death.
