Re: New to list

I'm afraid the link doesn't work in my browser, but the Hapworth
Salinger wrote was the last thing he published before becoming a
complete recluse. I think it appeared in the New Yorker in 1961. You
could probably look it up at your local library. There are occasional
threats to republish it in book form (it's a 100+ page short story),
sometimes a release date is set, and then the book is withdrawn.

Best next Salinger to read is probably either _Nine Stories_ or _Franny
and Zooey_. They'll get you sufficiently into the Glass family to let
you appreciate
_Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction_.
