fellow pesciphiles-
this has nothing to do with anything really but i thought it was kind
cool/weird:
i was watching the italian news... the main story was the apprehension of
the alleged new head of 'cosa nostra' who'd been on the run for about a
year now (italian police work.... )
the news reporter commented that the great leader was living in a tiny
squalid room... he had in his possession a few books on religion... on his
nightstand was _La Via del Pellegrino_ by an anonymous russian...
when i heard this the hairs on the back of my neck did that cliche thing...
it took me a while to work out why... but when i translated the title to
_The Way of the Pilgrim_... it was all the more eerie because i had just
re-read _Franny & Zooey_ the day before..

P.S. i said i would translate a jd salinger article in _Panorama_ and post
it to the list or to individuals.. unfortunately here at cornell the
_Panorama_ collection is always several months behind the current issue...
i hope to have a translation done by the end of august
