"Hapworth 16, 1924" by J.D. Salinger

Three unpublished short stories by J.D. Salinger leaked on to the internet over the Thanksgiving weekend. While it remains to be seen when and if those stories will see the legal light of day, their appearance called to mind Salinger's last published short story, which takes the form of the world's longest, most belligerent and possibly saddest letter home from camp ever. Originally published in "The New Yorker," June 19, 1965.
