The author writes: The two long pieces in this book originally came out in The New Yorker—RAISE HIGH THE ROOF BEAM, CARPENTERS in 1955, SEYMOUR—An Introduction in 1959.
Whatever their differences in mood or effect, they are both very much concerned with Seymour Glass, who is the main character in my still-uncompleted series about the Glass family. It struck me that they had better be collected together, if not deliberately paired off, in something of a hurry, if I mean them to avoid unduly or undesirably close contact with new material in the series. There is only my word for it, granted, but I have several new Glass stories coming along—waxing, dilating—each in its own way, but I suspect the less said about them, in mixed company, the better. Oddly, the joys and satisfactions of working on the Glass family peculiarly increase and deepen for me with the years. I can't say why, though. Not, at least, outside the casino proper of my fiction.

    I mean she's read just about everything that's ever been printed. My gosh, if I'd just read about one-tenth of what that woman's read and forgotten, I'd be happy.

    He said he even wished everybody in the world looked exactly alike. He said you'd keep thinking everybody you met was your wife or your mother or father, and people would always be throwing their arms around each other wherever they went, and it would look 'very nice.'

    we are being sentimental when we give to a thing more tenderness than God gives to it
