초록
『Nine Stories』(1953) is a loosely-connected collection of nine stories each of which has good completion and attraction as a short story. This work was published a year after 『The Catcher in The Rye』(1952), once more showing the distinguishing ability of J. D. Sallinger at his best. This collection is known for its highly literary quality. Most critics think highly of these stories' minute observation, sophisticated speeches, correct and sharp description, and very interesting plots above all. But in contrast to its literary value, there have few attempts to find the correlation among those stories. It's very surprising, given that Sallinger is very famous for his intensiveness as well as his meticulous writing. He put a famous zen koan saying "We know the sound of two hands clapping. But what is the sound of one hand clapping?" It indicates that he intends we should read the stories as one rather than as nine different ones respectively. This study, therefore, tried to find the integrating relationship to connect the different stories into one. For the purpose, I periodically divided Sallinger's works into three, such as early, middle, late stage. The characteristics of the three stages are as following: the early stage expresses negation and frustration, while the middle does negation and resistance, and the late stage positive acceptance. Concludingly, this work shows the dialectic process of life's negation-new affirmation, which is the main factor connecting the different stories like a united one.
Abstract
『Nine Stories』(1953) is a loosely-connected collection of nine stories each of which has good completion and attraction as a short story. This work was published a year after 『The Catcher in The Rye』(1952), once more showing the distinguishing ability of J. D. Sallinger at his best. This collection is known for its highly literary quality. Most critics think highly of these stories' minute observation, sophisticated speeches, correct and sharp description, and very interesting plots above all. But in contrast to its literary value, there have few attempts to find the correlation among those stories. It's very surprising, given that Sallinger is very famous for his intensiveness as well as his meticulous writing. He put a famous zen koan saying "We know the sound of two hands clapping. But what is the sound of one hand clapping?" It indicates that he intends we should read the stories as one rather than as nine different ones respectively. This study, therefore, tried to find the integrating relationship to connect the different stories into one. For the purpose, I periodically divided Sallinger's works into three, such as early, middle, late stage. The characteristics of the three stages are as following: the early stage expresses negation and frustration, while the middle does negation and resistance, and the late stage positive acceptance. Concludingly, this work shows the dialectic process of life's negation-new affirmation, which is the main factor connecting the different stories like a united one.
