What a cantankerous old bastard. (Yes, I meant Sir Christopher (: ) The
saddest thing is, it's probably a lot of the Holden Caulfields of the world
who, via throwing paper clips at the nearest stenographer, end up becoming
the thing they hate most, their spirits crushed, their hopes
unsubstantiated ... try as I might I have never quite been able to work out
what `happened' to Holden in the same way I might about other fictional
characters. He is a character so firmly enmeshed in the moment that, like
Holden himself, it's nearly impossible to predict his future beyond strange
fantasies like running away to a log cabin.
