The Hang of It

The Hang of It

"The Hang of It", another of Salinger's uncollected stories, is a commercial tale of a soldier who just can't seem to get "The Hang of It". The positive ending to the story was fitting for the country's upcoming involvement in World War II and popular with the magazines of the time.
