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.
Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters is still very much the Salinger I enjoyed reading. Even though I am probably not thoughtful enough to state the reason why. On the other hand, Seymour an Introduction is quite a bore, even worse than Franny and Zooey. ...

好像讀九故事的時候,看齣來的對雙雪濤的影響更大一點。
评分My last Glass Family book. He goes into too much details in the second one, making it hard and slow to read, as Nuno said. But his ending is always magical and I just get obsessed with this Family, maybe for the same reason Salinger created them - they meet our expectations of people. Oh and oh, I resent Ethan Hawke for using that sacred title.
