"Nine Stories" are nine pearls in Salinger's work. It is not for nothing that authoritative literary critics call their creator a storyteller from God. His work is deep and significant, his speech is rich and brilliant, his characters are sincere and unforgettable.
The stories are permeated with the Glass family history. The dance of samsara - the eldest son Seymour shoots himself in "Bananafish", his mask is drowned by his sister's son in "In the Boat". Walt, Seymour's brother, is mentioned in "The Unclean Paw", and his ex-girlfriend can't forget Walt.
Everyone will have their own favorites, and they will change, but they will be remembered for their true feelings, for the fleeting nature of meetings that happen in life, leaving such a deep mark that nothing can erase them.
