Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction

日本では、ライ麦畑がどうしても先行してしまいますが、サリンジャーを知る上では欠かせない作品です。英語で読んで、翻訳で読んで、角度を変えて見つめたい作品です。

if you want to read more-more-more about the Glass family. While the first novel is a comparatively easily digestable piece about Buddy's recollection of Seymour's wedding that provides the reader with other pieces to the "Glass-saga" puzzle, you might not want to start the "Introduction" until you have read all the classics, otherwise it can be very frustrating having to look up every other name that comes up.
