The book
“Her mother.
Her mother’s cousin.
The shop owner who ran the used book store that had perused the stories he had recently purchased during the passing of a few dollars.
The roommate that sold it to the bookstore when he had finished reading.
And then, the original owner of whom the book loved most. The person who had seen it on a shelf and had chosen it from a stack of so many other identical copies.
Holden imagined such a thing and the thought itself felt unwelcome in his sm...all mind. A stack of clean books that lined a shelf in a shop that smelled fresh with the freedom that each patron took for granted. That book must have felt so true in the owner’s hands as they brought it excitedly to the check-out counter before taking it for its first walk. Carefully, they drew back the cover, only enough to keep it from closing. Eventually, a thick, canyon of a wrinkle tore at the spine where the cover had been yanked to the back by an irresponsible reader.MoreLess
