> J.D. Salinger Probably Isn't Happy About New Book 'Three Early Stories'

I was a big fan of his Glass family books when I was in college, and even went through the effort to find some of his old published magazine stories that were never collected. I haven’t seen these three, however, so I’ll be interested to see how I react to them. I realize that Salinger isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, in particular some people really seem to hate _Catcher_, but I really do still harbor a fond spot in my heart for his other works.

They were okay. The voice was very distinctly Salinger’s.
