. New York: The New Yorker, June 19, 1965. The author's last published work. Pictorial wrappers. 4to. A 28,000 word coda to his Glass family saga that was never republished by its controlling author. The story, written in epistolary form by the seven-year-old Seymour Glass to his parents from the titular summer camp he is attending, is prolix and improbably sophisticated for the mind of a child. Salinger's reluctance to publish any further work may well stem from the realization that he was written out. A fine copy of this sixty-year-old periodical that marked the end of a fabled literary career.
