"Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters is written with a dazzling, almost showy, technical brilliance. Its dialogue is expert, its satirical comedy amusing, its style fluid and graceful. There can be no question that J. D. Salinger is a finished literary craftsman" (Orville Prescott, The New York Times).
