Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters: And Seymour, an Introduction
J.D. Salinger's two Glass-family pieces are paired here in one volume. The first story follows Buddy Glass through the chaotic day of Seymour's wedding, when the groom fails to appear; the second is Buddy's attempt to write his dead brother into existence through memory, quotation, and grief. Both are less narratives than acts of devotion, and the prose is meandering, funny, and finally heartbreaking.Bantam's edition presents the stories in a small, portable paperback, the kind that turns up on park benches and in used-book bins. For readers who have already fallen for the Glasses and are willing to follow them into grief.
