Book club selection (via Nick P; November 16, 2015)I too seldom read short stories - and never read Salinger - so this was time well spent. But I think I will continue to avoid short stories - for whatever reason, I find the format limiting, or frustrating, or whatever; probably it's just me.
The "Laughing Man" story was highly creative.
The "Banana Fish" story was compelling but I would have liked to see it developed a bit further. Gave an insight into the challenges of the returning vet.
"For Esme - With Love and Squalor" - very effective, perhaps because it was a more traditional style of story-telling?
Good stuff.
