These previously unpublished stories are truly great. The first one, "Ocean Full of Bowling Balls," gives a glimpse into the early Holden Caulfield and a bit of his family history. The second and third ones, "The Birthday Boy," and "Paula," show aspects of gender roles in American culture, these roles defining and shaping the endings which are very great! The last one, "Paula," has some errata that you have to mentally correct for, but it's still readable. Enjoy!

(5,909 posts)Huge Salinger fan. I have a small amount of credit of an Amazon gift card so was looking at this book yesterday by David Foster Wallace (like him a lot RIP) but read the reviews and saw one essay wasn't included in the Kindle version, which was the one I was going to order, so I bought the paperback. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316013323/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
