Rafters up, carpenters. Seymour - Introduction
9.99 €
"Higher the rafters, carpenters" is a quote from "Epithalamas," the wedding song of the ancient Greek poetess Sappho.
On the wedding day of the main character, Simor Glass, his sister wrote with a soapstone on the bathroom mirror: "Higher the rafters, carpenters! In comes a groom like Areus, taller than the tallest of husbands."
Simor Glass is the eldest of seven siblings. To those unfamiliar with him, he is a strange, unstable man. And only those close to him know another Simor - a philosopher, a poet, a man of deep and subtle feelings.
The story is imbued with the spirit of Zen Buddhism and nonconformism and gives a lot to understand Salinger - one of the most significant writers of the twentieth century.
