A small bit of news. The list archive is current as of the morning
postings today, July 19. You can reach the main archive page at:
http://www.nyu.edu/acf/staff/oconnort/JDS
There are now three basic choices: browse the archives, running from June,
1997 to the present; search by keyword, current as of the most recent
indexing (two or three days ago); and enjoy an "unpretentious bouquet of
early-blooming parentheses."
Intellectual-property enthusiasts and copyright fans should note that the
last item in that list above is not a reproduction of Salinger's text, but
is a reasonable facsimile of a portion of it, as the punctuation appeared
in Seymour: An Introduction. Literary enthusiasts will note that there is
nothing parenthetical about the bouquet at all. Punctuation enthusiasts
will rejoice at the delicate balance achieved, with the enigmatic closing
mark, which symbolizes a dot. Parodists will dismiss this entire
paragraph, and no wonder.
Cheers!
