The short story “The Young Folks” by Jerome David Salinger belongs to the early stories of this writer. It is rather not even a story, but a sketch.
Party, teenagers, a girl who is pretending to be herself, a good host, a young man who has fallen into the spell of a girl, a conversation about nothing, alcohol, cigarettes. Everything is as it should be.
The narration is simple and naturalistic. The author gives the reader a unique opportunity just to observe people and make their own conclusions. Every person goes through this stage. Therefore, everyone can recognize themselves in these teenagers and refresh memories in the memory.
Everyone had such unpretentious but at the same time very important memories. And after reading this short story, the reader can immerse themselves in it.
