I recently badgered a friend of mine into reading Nine Stories, after
raving about the book for some time. He liked them, for the most part,
but he's a fan of stories that end a little more... resolved, I guess,
than Salinger's do. (His favorite was The Laughing Man, his least
favorite Teddy.)
Which got me thinking: which story of the nine ends the least
successfully, by your estimation? I would say Teddy, but I feel like
that's probably because it's just my least favorite of the stories to
begin with. Uncle Wiggily always felt a little weak in the end, too,
though in reading it just now I found I got a little more out of it
that usual. Poor Uncle Wiggily.
Regards,
Dan
