thoughts that could not be disremembered

Aside from his Nine Stories, J.D. Salinger published twenty-two stories in various magazines which remain uncollected. Several attempts have been made to compile these stories together but have met stiff resistance by the author. Spanning his literary career between the years 1940-1965, these stories display changes in both the author's style and message. While some are plainly of commercial quality, most are serious works containing an expansive gift of enlightenment and self-examination: that very-satisfying 'Salinger moment'. Provided here is a list of those stories, sorted by publication date and accompanied by a short synopsis of each.

'The Young Folks'
Story XVI (March/April 1940), pp.26-36.
'The Young Folks' , was Salinger's first published story. It was published in Whit Burnett's Story magazine. Burnett was the teacher of short story writing at Columbia where Salinger took his course. Salinger himself was twenty one at the time of its publication. The story satirizes the selfish concerns of a pair of young adults at a party and the festering shallowness of their lives.

'The Hang of It'

'The Heart of a Broken Story'
Esquire XVI (September 1941), pp.32, 131-133.
'The Heart of a Broken Story' is Salinger's satirical story about the products of the slick magazines in the 30's and 40's. Salinger pokes fun at the formulaic boy meets girl stories that appear with regularity in the magazines. A very funny story, it also has a serious filp-side. The only story to be narrated by Salinger himself, it nonetheless shows his unwillingness to control his characters.

'The Long Debut of Lois Taggett'
Story XXI, (September/October 1942), pp.28-34,
'The Long Debut of Lois Taggett' is the tale of a debutante and her long process of coming out. Throughout this pessimistic story, Lois struggles to deal with the harshness of reality and maintain her own humanity. Before she can let go of pretense, she must first deal with a psychotic husband, a loveless second marriage, and her child's crib death.
When, in 1963, Story magazine requested permission to reprint this story, Salinger declined.
Reprinted in New York, Dutton, Story: The Fiction of The Forties, 1949, pages 153-162.

'Personal Notes of an Infantryman'
Collier's CX (December 12, 1942), pp.96.
'Personal Notes of an Infantryman' is a War story about an older man trying to get in the military, and then overseas to combat with a surprise ending. Readers of 'The Hang of It' will have a strong sense of deja vu at this story's end.

'The Varioni Brothers'
Saturday Evening Post CCXVI (July 17, 1943), pp.12-13,76-77.
'The Varioni Brothers' is a short story dealing with two brothers, one a sensitive artist who's attempts at writing the great American novel are thwarted by the manipulations of his brother who forces him to write music instead of his book. Ultimately, the good brother is destroyed due to his brothers actions. Salinger had hoped that this story would be made into a movie, but it did not happen. Salinger was scornful of this story and hid the fact that it was analogous of the duality of his own nature. However, he ressurrected portions of this story in later works - primarily through the characters of Seymour and Buddy Glass. g6t2,

'Both Parties Concerned'
Saturday Evening Post , CCXVI (February 26, 1944), pp.14,47-48.
'Both Parties Concerned' is a story of a young couple and their baby. The story chronicles their struggles to mature from adolescence and the conflicts they encounter. This was an experimental work for Salinger, who used it to explore different character-types and vernacular. Readers will doubtlessly sense the presence of Holden Caulfield in its main character. It is possible that the character of Ruthie is based upon a Bainbridge, Georgia 'peach' with whom Salinger had a romance. It was originally titled 'Wake Me When It Thunders.'

'Soft Boiled Sergeant'
Saturday Evening Post , CCXVI, (April 15, 1944) pp.18,32,82-85.
Written before he had actually seen combat, 'Soft-Boiled Sergeant' chronicles a young soldier's entry in the military and his contact with a good natured Staff Sergeant he could never forget. Despite its military setting and condemnation of phoniness, this is primarily a story about love written at a difficult stage in Salinger's personal life. It was originally titled 'Death of a Dogface.'
