For Esmé With Love and Squalor

by J.D. Salinger
$11.90
For Esmé With Love and Squalor
For Esmé With Love and Squalor

Poignant wartime encounters and fragile human connections.

If you're into stories that capture the intimate moments and psychological intricacies of human relationships, then Salinger's "For Esmé—with Love and Squalor" is certainly for you. The title story, in particular, holds a magnifying glass to the impact of war on the human spirit, which combined with the enigmatic draw of the Glass family in 'A Perfect Day for Bananafish,' offers a layered and deeply moving reading experience.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
