Yes, I agree, kind sir. Lately, I've become very determined to find as many
unpublished Salinger stories at my local Texas-Redneck-Library as I possibly
can. I've been surprisingly successful. I've found and read Hapworth 16,
1924, The Varoni Brothers, and A Boy in France. I don't see how anybody
could write off Hapworth as below-par for Jerome. It was quaint in it's own
way, just like Seymour: An Introduction. True it lacked action, but it gave
an ingenious insight into young Seymour.
The Varoni Brothers and A Boy in France were somewhat sparse, but still an
immense joy to read.
A few weeks ago, though, I ordered an old copy of "The Armchair Esquire" from
an Amazon.com Z-Shop. That book, as most of you probably know, has "This
Sandwich has no Mayonnaise" in it. I read it within two minutes of getting
the mail. OH GOODNESS GRACIOUS! What an orgasmic pleasure that was! Well,
not orgasmic, but pretty damn profound. I'm looking forward to going to the
Big Book Store in Houston, sitting down, and reading "Slight Rebellion." I
currently lack the funds to purchase the thing.
