Hi everybody,
Since I just subscribed to this list I wanted to say hi...
I first learnt about Salinger in high-school, where we read Itīs A Good
Day For Bananafish... I thought it was extremely strange, yet very
exciting, unlike anything I had read before...
Some years went on, and more or less by coincidence I decided to read
The Cacher In The Rye... Then I was hooked... I went to the library and
seeked out all they had (Franny and Zooey, Raise High..., and Nine
Stories)...
I really felt I got to know the Glass-family, and when I finally got to
read Bananafish again, I just felt so sorry for Seymour - and I didnīt
find the story strange this time around...
Iīve tried finding his magazine-published stories, but since I live in
Denmark it has been pretty hard, especially because I didnīt really have
anything to go on... But since Iīve now found the "Bananafish" homepage
Iīm definately going to give it another try...
Looking forward to reading your comments,
best wishes,
Kim Abrahamsson, Denmark
