Broheros’s Reviews > Nine Stories > Status Update

Finally getting back into this eccentric collection. “Pretty Mouth and Green my Eyes” didn’t do much for me, I wish I had read it with someone else to discuss it with. After reading a forum on it here on Goodreads I grasped what Salinger was doing in this story, but it felt cheap to let someone else reach the conclusion for me (why I enjoy reading with others—you gain so much more out of a story!).

Man does Salinger write about anything but loss of innocence? GIVE ME A HAPPY STORY
