First of all, Brooks, welcome to the list. Second, don't listen to Jim.
He's a Hapworth Hater of the first water.
If you want to read the story, find the June 19 1965 issue of The New
Yorker, pages 32-113 and make the determination for yourself.
"Hapworth 16, 1924" is the only story told in Seymour's voice, a letter
home to his parents from camp. Honestly, I think it answers nearly every
question that you can have about the Glass family canon.
There's also a very fine book by Eberhard Alsen called Salinger's Glass
Stories as a Composite Novel that may help open up Hapworth for you.
Regards,
Cecilia.
