Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction by J.D. Salinger |
Product Description
Amazon.co.jp
1953年に出版されたサリンジャーの自選短篇集。「グラース家の物語」の発端となるシーモアが登場する「A Perfect Day for Bananafish」、WASP中心のアメリカ社会で助けあいながら生きていくユダヤ人親子を描いた「Down at the Dinghy」、男女の不倫を描いた「Pretty Mouth and Green my Eyes」など、9つの作品が収められている。中には、ドイツ製のルガー拳銃の性能を証明するために、ヒヨコの頭を撃ち抜いたヘミングウェイの残忍性を風刺して書かれたといわれている、次のような作品もある。
発表以来、精神分析や東洋思想などの立場から、さまざまな文学的解釈がなされている短篇集であるが、読み物としても十分おもしろい。何年かたってから読み直せば、以前は見えなかったものが見えてくるような、味わい深い作品である。（小川朋子） --This text refers to the マスマーケット edition.
ノルマンディー上陸作戦に向けて3週間続いた特殊訓練を終えたX軍曹は、喫茶店で1人の少女に声をかけられる。先ほど教会の児童合唱隊で、ひときわ美しい声で歌っていた少女だ。さびしそうにしていたから声をかけてみたと言う少女と、彼はつかの間の平穏なときを過ごす…。やがて戦争は終わるが、X軍曹は心身ともに深い傷を負う。ある日、彼は手元にあった小包を開く。中にはあのときの少女からの手紙と、彼女の父親の形見である腕時計が入っていた。2人が共に過ごした時間は、長い人生においてはほんの一瞬のできごとに過ぎない。それでも、少女の手紙には、彼に安堵の眠りと魂の救済をもたらす不思議な力があった。（「For Esme-with Love and Squalor」）

In the J.D. Salinger benchmark "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," Seymour Glass floats his beach mate Sybil on a raft and tells her about these creatures' tragic flaw. Though they seem normal, if one swims into a hole filled with bananas, it will overeat until it's too fat to escape. Meanwhile, Seymour's wife, Muriel, is back at their Florida hotel, assuring her mother not to worry--Seymour hasn't lost control. Mention of a book he sent her from Germany and several references to his psychiatrist lead the reader to believe that World War II has undone him.
The war hangs over these wry stories of loss and occasionally unsuppressed rage. Salinger's children are fragile, odd, hypersmart, whereas his grown-ups (even the materially content) seem beaten down by circumstances--some neurasthenic, others (often female) deeply unsympathetic. The greatest piece in this disturbing book may be "The Laughing Man," which starts out as a man's recollection of the pleasures of storytelling and ends with the intersection between adult need and childish innocence. The narrator remembers how, at nine, he and his fellow Comanches would be picked up each afternoon by the Chief--a Staten Island law student paid to keep them busy. At the end of each day, the Chief winds them down with the saga of a hideously deformed, gentle, world-class criminal. With his stalwart companions, which include "a glib timber wolf" and "a lovable dwarf," the Laughing Man regularly crosses the Paris-China border in order to avoid capture by "the internationally famous detective" Marcel Dufarge and his daughter, "an exquisite girl, though something of a transvestite." The masked hero's luck comes to an end on the same day that things go awry between the Chief and his girlfriend, hardly a coincidence. "A few minutes later, when I stepped out of the Chief's bus, the first thing I chanced to see was a piece of red tissue paper flapping in the wind against the base of a lamppost. It looked like someone's poppy-petal mask. I arrived home with my teeth chattering uncontrollably and was told to go straight to bed."
