Description: This is a rare issue of "Story" magazine for March-April, 1940 that contains the first ever published story by J.D. SALINGER. Written when he was only 21 years old (and 11 years before the publication of "The Catcher in the Rye"), "The Young Folks" takes place at a New York cocktail party and details the emptiness of the conversation between a young woman and a male college student. The fiction story appeared only once, within this issue of "Story" magazine. From a review: "('The Young Folks') hints at what the author was capable of, if only slightly, by focusing on how personal interactions and dialog even in ordinary circumstances can bring up much deeper questions." The publisher of "Story" magazine, Whit Burnett, was Salinger's short story composition teacher at Columbia University. Published by Story Magazine, Inc. in New York.
