For Esmé – with Love and Squalor: And Other Stories (English, Hardcover, J.D. Salinger)

In honour of the centennial of the birth of J.D. Salinger in 1919, Penguin reissues all four of his books in beautiful commemorative hardback editions – with artwork and text based on the very first Salinger editions published in the 1950s and 1960s.

A collection of nine exceptional stories from one of the great American voices of the twentieth century. Witty, urbane and frequently affecting, “For Esmé – with Love and Squalor” sits alongside Salinger’s very best work – a gem that will be passed down for many generations to come.

‘The most perfectly balanced collection of stories I know’ Ann Patchett
