The description snipet they have for 9 Stories is horrible. Sounds
like a fantasy book: "In the J.D. Salinger benchmark "A Perfect Day for
Bananafish," Seymour Glass floats his beach mate Sybil on a raft and tells
her about these creatures' tragic flaw. Though they seem normal, if one
swims into a hole filled with bananas, it will overeat until it's too fat
to escape...."
Oh and of the rest of the selections I highly recommend _Jesus' Son_.
