Very much an “I see what you did there, Barbara Kingsolver” moment at this point in “Demon Copperhead”.

My very TikTok teen and his best friend were discussing glass child syndrome and I guessed Salinger but, my friends, Salinger is dead and I was wrong and old. #salinger #glassChildren #old

Siento simpatía por los escritores y escritoras que han desarrollado su exitosa carrera al margen de las redes sociales y la atención mediática; sin necesidad de alimentar el algoritmo o practicar la exposición. No puedo evitarlo (y, dicho sea de paso) ni dejar de sentir un poco de envidia.

"I privately say to you, old friend... please accept from me this unpretentious bouquet of early-blooming parentheses: (((())))."

We are watching #DashAndLily again, with friends. I took my #Salinger books out of the loft last week but the kids are uninterested.
I'll probably try re-reading one soon but I'm kinda scared.

Bumbling Bee consults his Queen, "your numbers are down, bees are buzzing about a new order." To which the Queen replies, "honey is supplied by some, scouted by few, for the benefit of our youth. Who dares question our function?"

Glad to be of help, but to tell the truth, I depended on my good friend, Sarah N. Dippity.

I hope that you enjoy reading "Teddy" again!

Happy Friday to you!

The only short story that I can recall, and that matches some of the elements in your summary (American boy, reincarnation), is --

"Teddy" by J. D. Salinger (1953, The New Yorker magazine 31 Jan 1953). You can read it here: http://tparent.net/Salinger_Teddy.pdf.

The ending of "Teddy" was controversial.

(Just going to share these here as I’ve not otherwise linked to them):

I keep a little #Blog where I write mostly semi-formal essays on topics that interest me. Not to centre me, but I’m proud of the two-part piece I finished in June on the predatory and abusive experiences of young women and girls with J.D. #Salinger, which is pinned on my profile.
But here’s a list of #History (-specific) blog posts that I’ve enjoyed writing so far, since I started just over a year ago:

"Who goes to #poetry for safety anyway?" JD #Salinger: Seymour, an introduction.

Teach me love teach me pleasure
Teach me hope teach me surrender
Teach me the briskness of your gestures
At night when you awake
Teach me the smoothness of your voice
At dawn when i wake you
Teach me hello sunshine
Teach me hurry
At eight thirty every tuesday
Teach me good bye
Teach me how have you been today ?
Every minute of my days
Every day of my life.

I have two completed books on my hard drive.

Two.

"First banana: I spent five weeks in bed with acute hepatitis.
Second banana: which one? They are both cute those hepatitis girls!"
JD #Salinger , Seymour, an introduction.
Même les plus grands peuvent offrir des calembours un peu balourds. Et c'est tellement rassurant.

"...do you know what you would be asked when you die? /.../ I'm sure you'll get asked only two questions. Were most of your stars out? Were you busy writing your heart out?"
JD #Salinger Seymour, an introduction.

@insurgentem
Salinger was notoriously private about his personal life and never conceded to journalists or biographers interviews about his life. "A CATCHER IN THE RYE" is a novel forced upon kids to read in "English "class in western countries. The entire novel describes the mind of a rich nihilistic violent and elite white prep school kid who complains constantly about everything being "phony". #salinger #usenglish #incel
