Add a QuoteAs much as anything else, it was the stare, not so paradoxically, of a privacy-lover who, once his privacy has been invaded, doesn't quite approve when the invader just gets up and leaves, one-two-three, like that.
I've just finished decoding a long letter that came from Mother this morning [. . .] surely the only woman in the world who can write a letter in invisible italics.

Add a CommentVery fluid, and quirky.
I'm a huge Salinger fan and enjoy the antics of the quirky Glass family.
I admire how well Salinger captured colloquial speech on the page, although it’s more the colloquial speech of television (or radio, as Salinger calls it) than of real life. I didn’t enjoy the parts where it seems like a manifesto (presumably the author’s) is being spouted by characters in the story – isn’t that propaganda instead of literature? I think Franny is pregnant.
Quick, good.
