Both Parties Concerned

Both Parties Concerned

"Both Parties Concerned" is a short story by J. D. Salinger, first published in the "Saturday Evening Post" on February 26, 1944. The story chronicles a young couple's struggles to mature from adolescence and the conflicts they encounter raising a baby. This was an experimental work for Salinger, who used it to explore different character-types and vernacular. Readers will doubtlessly sense the presence of Holden Caulfield in its main character. It is possible that the character of Ruthie is based upon a Bainbridge, Georgia "peach" with whom Salinger had a romance. It was originally titled "Wake Me When It Thunders."
