Okay, I'll stand by and watch a debate unfold re: Salinger and narcicism.  But 
how about having a parallel debate re: Salinger the humanitarian?  I'll begin 
it.  "Uncle Wiggly" depicts a cruel woman in a way that would make Jane Austen 
proud.  Her cruelties stem from her pain, and her only mode of finding peace 
is in facing that life she's fighting so hard.
  And can any of you read the last paragraph of "For Esme with love and 
squalor" without feeling so much hope it makes you burst?
