Reviews"No American writer will ever have a more alert ear, a more attentive eye, or a more ardent heart than Salinger's."-- Adam Gopnik , New Yorker, "No American writer will ever have a more alert ear, a more attentive eye, or a more ardent heart than Salinger's." -- Adam Gopnik , New Yorker, "Salinger's final confrontation with all the strains of his earlier fiction: sentimentality, depression, Eastern philosophy, isolation, and the guilt of being happy."-- Chris Wilson , Slate, "We mustn't be blind to what Salinger has accomplished by virtue of his overabundant love...The Glass stories retain an extraordinary interest and appeal."-- John Romano , New York Times
