A Perfect Day for Bananafish is one of the best known stories written by J. D. Salinger. It appeared in Nine Stories (1948). It tells about the honeymoon of a young man called Seymour Glass, a member of the prodigious Glass Family, which Salinger also wrote about in several other books, Franny and Zooey, Raise The Beam High, Carpenters And Seymour: An Introduction and Hapworth 16, 1924,
The word bananafish comes from a story that Seymour tells to a little girl on the beach which reflects the non-conformist and deeply pessimistic look of Seymour, the book as a whole, and Salinger himself.
