Scottie--
You pose such difficult questions--and to be honest I'm not sure quite
how to take them. But who, in the end, can really claim to be an
"American"--asides from certain characters in certain novels? Or
rather, at what point in some mythical process, does one become this
mythical sort of beast? I sometimes see Salinger referred to as an
Irish writer.
Have to catch my bus!
Love and peace,
Denis
