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?

machine of all creation, is the one with which the osteopath

No one seems to know how useful it is to be useless."
