"A PERFECT DAY FOR BANANAFISH" by J.D. Salinger >> If you love The Catcher in the Rye or Franny AND Zooey but don't REALLY know this story, you must listen in!
Podcast:The Foxed Page Published On: Fri Jan 02 2026 Description: We all read The Catcher in high school (when it was largely wasted on us) but too few of us explore Salinger's short fiction. His stories are SO GOOD. A deep dive into "Bananfish" will not only help you appreciate the inimitable dialogue, the spareness, the characterization and all that makes Salinger one of America's best writers--but you'll end up feeling a little smarter and a little more HUMAN as we kick off 2026.
