Sorry, Camille, I've never heard of anticipatory nostalgia. The nearest I can suggest is anticipatory *proctalgia*. As you know, proctalgia is the medical name for pain in the ass. Holden could certainly be expected to suffer from it - that awful impending sense of discomfort in the lower regions as yet another phoney heaves into view - Ackley, Ernie Morrow, all that gentry. I'm sure you & I both experience it when downloading the morning's post & recognise certain names & addresses .... Scottie B.
