| has gloss | eng: "The Varioni Brothers" is a short story by J. D. Salinger, first published in the Saturday Evening Post on July 17, 1943. Joe Varioni is a sensitive artist whose attempts at writing the "Great American Novel" are thwarted by the manipulations of his brother Sonny who forces him to write music instead of his book. Salinger had hoped that this story would be made into a movie, but was not. Salinger was scornful of this story and hid the fact that it was analogous of the duality of his own nature. However, he resurrected portions of this story in later works - primarily through the characters of Seymour and Buddy Glass. |
