Later, he published Nine Stories in 1953, Franny and Zooey in 1961, Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour in 1963, and a short story for the New Yorker in 1965, among other things. And then nothing. He stopped publishing and went [...]

Posting this as a reminder to myself and a decent heads up to you.. Find time to read these: The Uncollected Stories of JD Salinger, Collected . The title pretty much says it all. Letters of Note: Kurt Vonnegut - a short read but an important one as it is a letter sent from Vonnegut during his time in Dresden; which pretty much shaped the rest of his life.

Sometimes its ok to just do descriptions using other people’s words, because it is all the human condition, to lesser or greater degrees and we either agree or we don’t and we either feel something or we don’t. those seem to be the two things that count, and then what you do about it, but that’s for another day.

Vermeer’s Milkmaid is a collection of short stories by Galician writer, Manuel Rivas. I had to wikipedia Galicia because, shamefacedly, I didn’t know where it was. To show off my new knowledge and enlighten those others who don’t know, it’s in Spain. North West Spain, to be exact, and according to the Great Encyclopaedia, an historical autonomous community. Although Rivas writes...

I find this article from the New York Times to be fascinating. Apparently, J.D. Salinger (now, age 90) has sued a Swedish author named Fredrik Colting (age 33) for copyright infringement.
