Just a flimsy joke that refers to Salinger's willingness to take action
against anyone who infringes on his copyrights, and a playful reference to
a nice passage in Seymour: An Introduction.
Very full of self-reference; I should punish myself by arranging a dinner
date with old Ackley.
Seriously -- if you haven't read Seymour: An Introduction, you should grab
a copy of the paperback and read it cover to cover, starting with the
opening story. It is unforgettable.
