Bananafishers,
I've been lurking because I've been involved with a group of young ladies
who are the cast of A poetry play by Ntozake Shange, "For Colored Girls
Who Have Considered Suicide--When the Rainbow is Enuf," and I'm currently
caught up in a job search that will take me to Skidmore College and makes
it difficult to play on this list as much as I'd like...all this is
prelude to a request about an actual textual issue...
I've been asked by the MLA to review an article for the PMLA that links
some of Carl Jung's ideas to the Catcher...we've touched on this I think,
and I'm hoping our list shrink Dr.Scotty has something to say here, as
well as anyone who has seen Jung/Salinger links...
The paper's author hopes to "elucidate the mystic side of Salinger from
the Jungian point of view." I know some will just write this post off to
silly intellectualism and you may be right, but I know others have been
playing with Jung and see his thinking linking to many aspects of life,
maybe even to Salinger, and if so, let me know what you are thinking,
will
