when salinger put together 'nine stories' fifty years
ago, he had 30 published stories to choose from.

i find the severity of his choices interesting.

but it's too bad the original 'story' collection fell
through in '47 or so.

(there are two original reviews of 'nine stories'
online):

http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/09/13/specials/salinger-stories02.html

i'll look forward to jim's comments on the
underpublisheds. as i recall it was his reading which
 set off the 'inverted forest' thread.
