'For Esmé with Love and Squalor' is a classic collection of short stories by JD Salinger and was first published in 1953. The book runs to 148 pages and features nine different stories.

The stories, naturally, are ... Read the complete review

The short stories by J.D Salinger give a different view of the strange period after the Second World War - a time that seems to pale into insignificance next to the war and events that came later. Having read the cult ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ I was advised to read ‘For Esme With Love and Squalor’ because I was intrigued by Salinger as a person and as a writer. His style in ‘For Esme’ is never quite as stylised as it is in narrating the few days of wilderness of the young Holden Caulfield in ‘Catcher in the Rye’, but maintains a kind of coldness and mystery, as well as perfectly, and uneasily, depicting the ...
