A haunting portrait of family tragedy from the acclaimed author of
The Catcher in the Rye 'He was a great many things to a great many
people while he lived, and virtually all things to his brothers and
sisters in our somewhat outsized family. Surely he was all real
things to us: our blue-striped unicorn, our double-lensed burning
glass, our consultant genius, our portable conscience, our
supercargo, and our one full poet...' These two novellas, set
seventeen years apart, are both concerned with Seymour Glass - the
eldest son of J. D. Salinger's fictional Glass family - as recalled
by his closest brother, Buddy. 'The Glasses are one of the
liveliest, funniest, most fully-realized families in all fiction'
