I’ve read that Salinger regarded himself as FSF’s literary heir. And reading his short stories you can see it.

I’ve read the same thing, and I agree there’s some truth to it. I think Salinger is coarser then Fitzgerald but equally angst-ridden. And his style is sort of a compromise between Fitzgerald’s eloquence and Hemingway’s pithiness.
