People make a lot of all the symbolism in Salinger. I, for one, think these stories work better as perspicacious sketches of human behavior. Highlights -
"For Esme, with Love and Squalor" - about the sweetest sad story ever
"Laughing Man" - nice picture of a relationship going south from the POV of an eleven year old
"de Maurier-Smith's Blue Period" - very funny story told a New Yorker-esque detached style of humor.
This book has no threesomes.
