Stories. "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" by Salinger

If you don't know J.D. Salinger, listen to this story. It's a good way to start - it records a key moment in his life and to understand his work. If you already know him, and enjoy his literature, you'll love this story. It's lifelike - daily, undaily, warm and softly funny, very sweet, endlessly sad and tragic.

Check out the Talking People webpage dedicated to Salinger.
