Description Toward Books Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters & Seymour: An Introduction

The author writes: The two long pieces in this book originally came out in The New Yorker ? RAISE HIGH THE ROOF BEAM, CARPENTERS in 1955, SEYMOUR ? An Introduction in 1959. Whatever their differences in mood or effect, they are both very much concerned with Seymour Glass, who is the main character in my still-uncompleted series about the Glass family. It struck me that they had better be collected together, if not deliberately paired off, in something of a hurry, if I mean them to avoid unduly or undesirably close contact with new material in the series. There is only my word for it, granted, but I have several new Glass stories coming along ? waxing, dilating ? each in its own way, but I suspect the less said about them, in mixed company, the better. Oddly, the joys and satisfactions of working on the Glass family peculiarly increase and deepen for me with the years. I can't say why, though. Not, at least, outside the casino proper of my fiction.

Assessment Appertaining To Books Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters & Seymour: An Introduction

I hope I am not boring you, my readers, with all these books from 1963. I am making great progress on the list by reading one a week and as of today have only four of the bestsellers left to read. Then I will be on to the award winners.I have now read all of this infamous, controversial author's books. I suppose there will be unreleased stories being published over the coming years, but this one wraps up the stuff published while he lived. In fact, the two pieces here, long stories or novellas,

I'd give the first part 5 stars, but the second part didn't really do it for me. The neverending stream of consciousness which seems to go nowhere, the constant 'meta-text' (always very self-deprecating) and the long descriptions of mundane events (and the not-thorough-enough descriptions of actual 'juicy' bits) made it a tough read for me. After reading "franny", "zooey" and "raise high the roofbeam, carpenters" I fell in love with the Glass family (and especially with Seymour, through the eyes

Okay, I'll never be able to be partial when it comes to Salinger - merely stopping myself from raving is hard enough. However, these two novellas constitute for me (and I'm sure I'm far from alone in this) a mystical experience: they're part of what, to me, defines holiness. It's not easy, this sort of writing, no matter how deceptively it mimics a stream-of-consciousness rant: I am convinced Salinger toiled over every single word, so as to create this rambling sort of mantra. Schubert can be

When a panoramic awareness of the real face of the world first hits you, its paralyzing. If you manage to find your footing again, its - more and more bearably - only a hard struggle; though it gets worse before it gets better. And if you find real, solid happiness in your life after all that, its the beginning of your journeys end, and a Real Blessing - a crown upon your lifes work.For Nature made supreme happiness our natural human goal.This little review is only about Seymour, and not the

I wish I could give this 4.5 or 4.8 or something like that. Doesn't matter carpenters. We shall not let ourselves get caught under the beam as pendants resembling penny counters, we shall rise above the fascism and rally. 4 is very dependable after all.

تا قبل از این که سیمور تقریبا غیرمستقیم وارد داستان بشودکلافه شده بودم و حتی تو فکرم بود که بهش یک بدهم.هیچ اتفاق خاصی نمی افتاد و شخصیت ها همه تیپ های غلوشده ودوست نداشتنی ای بودند که خیلی بهترشان را صدجای دیگر دیدیم.اما از بعد آمدن سیمور...شخصیت سیمور دقیقا برعکس چیزی بود که تصور می کردم.آدمی نبود که الکی بگویند خاص است.سیمور یک آدم معمولی بود که چیزهایی که همه می بینیم را با عینک دیگری می دید.و اینقدر این دیدش قشنگ بود که خواننده را غافلگیر می کرد.چهارستاره می دهم به سیمور و دید عجیبش.و بوبو

There were times when I was reading this book that I wondered whether or not I should reconsider Salinger as my favorite author. I mean, these stories are all over the place... but then I realized why I love him so much. Salinger does not write "skim-worthy" sentences. I really feel like the depth of his writing cannot be grasped if a person is not reading them with the utmost concentration. His short stories (Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and others I have read) seem, more or less,
