It's so aggravating. OK, so it doesn't make me want to assassinate anybody, but now I see why they maybe did it. In reading JD Salinger's Nine Stories, I have discovered that stories need no ending at all. Salinger sure knows how to start a story. He knows how to rivet a reader (or at least me). But if this man's writing can be compared to the driving of an automobile, he gets into the car, starts it beautifully, navigates a few turns, then smashes (voluntarily) into a wall.
Just read A perfect day for bananafish if you don't believe me! My favourite so far is #8 - Daumier-Smith's Blue Period. A "highly recommended".
