| • | Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters is the second in the Glass Family series written by J D Salinger. It was originally published by The New Yorker magazine.Like many of the other Glass family stories, Raise High is narrated by Buddy Glass, the second of the Glass brothers, and describes Buddy's visit on Army leave (during World War II, in 1942) to attend the wedding of his brother Seymour, and tells of the events that follow the wedding's non-occurrence.
The eldest Glass brother, Seymour, is not the protagonist of this story, as he is of many others (A Perfect Day for Bananafish, Seymour: An Introduction, Hapworth 16, 1924). Seymour is usually portrayed through the eyes of his writer-brother Buddy, who purports to live in the shadow of his brilliant brother.
The Glass family stories also includeFranny and ZooeyUncle Wiggily in Connecticut, and Down at the Dinghy, (published together in the collection "Nine Stories" aka "For Esme, with Love and Squalor")
