 how although the two characters are physically different, Teddy was sort of
 pieced together with equivalencies to aspects of Seymour. Can anyone help
 me out here?
 
 P.S. I am equally chagrined to admit I know next to nothing about
 Schopenhauer. For an anti-intellectual Salinger can sure make some
 high-falutin references (:

I remember the reference the same way you do, but can't find it...

PS RE Inverted Forest...I just went to a friend's website and found out that 
it's a reference in the Upanishads to the Universe -- whose roots are in 
heaven and the branches/leaves are the earth.  Sheesh...I never knew that :)
