About This Item
London: Peter Owen. Very Good/Good. 1964. First UK Edition. Hard Cover. 8vo Dust jacket unclipped, closed tears. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership inscription. xxiv, 287 pages clean and tight. Rarely has a writer and his small volume of published work excited so much critical controversy as Jerome David Salinger. In twenty-three years of professional writing he has produced only one full-length novel, The Catcher in the Rye, and twenty-nine short stories, some of which have been collected under the titles: For Esme, with Love and Squalor, Franny and Zooey, and Raise High the Roof beam, Carpenter and Seymour: An Introduction. While he enjoys exuberant and widespread acclaim from many, is his almost legendary reputation really justified in view of this very small literary output'? .
