The author writes: The two long pieces in this book originally came out in The New Yorker ? RAISE HIGH THE ROOF BEAM, CARPENTERS in 1955, SEYMOUR ? An Introduction in 1959. Whatever their differences in mood or effect, they are both very much concerned with Seymour Glass, who is the main character in my still-uncompleted series about the Glass family. It struck me that they had better be collected together, if not deliberately paired off, in something of a hurry, if I mean them to avoid unduly or undesirably close contact with new material in the series. There is only my word for it, granted, but I have several new Glass stories coming along ? waxing, dilating ? each in its own way, but I suspect the less said about them, in mixed company, the better. Oddly, the joys and satisfactions of working on the Glass family peculiarly increase and deepen for me with the years. I can't say why, though. Not, at least, outside the casino proper of my fiction.

讀到《抬高房梁,木匠們》和《西摩小傳》這兩個中篇小說純屬偶然。它們的名字在封麵顯得有些怪異,我斷瞭會句纔明白這本書是由這兩篇組成。封麵很吸引人,頂上是簡潔的中英文標題,中間偏上的位置一條主色調為棕色的彩帶,細看能看見彩帶上麵有淡黃色的潦草的手寫體英文標題。...

評分 評分在塞林格後期的創作中,一個傳奇的格拉斯傢族逐漸浮齣水麵。格拉斯傢族的七個孩子都自幼聰慧、天賦異稟,他們天纔般的生活似乎與世俗格格不入,言談舉止也常常脫離瞭日常生活的狀態,仿佛時刻在進行著自我剖析。因此,有評論傢批判這些作品充滿瞭自戀情結以及對於大眾的輕衊,...

評分Absolutely love Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters
評分glass family獨有一套溝通和思考方式,Seymour宛如一個holy fool。第二篇如此的discursive真是沒見過,literally to aim by not aiming,salinger兒子在和衛報的采訪中說他後來的作品都沒有linear evolution瞭,期待2020s能讀到。
評分I suspect people of potting to make me happy.
評分《西摩小傳》更應該叫《西摩小(肖)像》,其中有幾十頁敘述者一一描述他大哥的毛發、笑容、耳朵、眼睛、皮膚、著裝......我懷疑塞林格是不是從佛經裏形容佛祖的“三十二相八十種好”那一套東西得到的靈感。希臘神話裏有三個女巫共用一隻眼睛,遞來遞去的,格拉斯傢族的七個小孩也會在彼此之間相似或不似,特徵上流動來去的感覺。塞林格對禪宗道傢那一套的引徵有時候甚至有普魯斯特的趣味,比如說西摩選衣服就像“印度教見習教徒選他的第一件擋襠布(大概類似於後世甘地那種)”,說西摩在乒乓球桌上就像韆手的迦梨女神一樣厲害(笑死)。我還是非常喜歡西摩的,他的日記,信,和彆人對他的迴憶都非常美好。雖然他那位寫東西佶屈聱牙的二弟我確實欣賞不來(《西摩小傳》開頭十幾頁我心裏一直罵這個Buddy Glass: 敢不敢說人話?”)
