Well, I suppose there are four published J.D. Salinger books: 'Catcher in the Rye', 'Franny & Zooey', 'Nine Stories' and 'Seymour an introduction & raise high the roof beam, carpenters'--which is, if I remember right, a short bit introducing Seymour Glass from 'A perfect day for bananafish' and then a lot of stuff about the Glass family. I could have this all mixed up--I haven't read these since jr high. Anyway, everyone probably already knows. Oh, and there are stolen J.D. Salinger stories here & there, I guess.. 'unofficial' ones, ones that he didn't want published. I've only heard of them, though--& never seen. Oh, and Brandt's absolutely right about Holden being the 'phony' & what-- not as though I need to reaffirm it. I have vague, vague memories about reading a J.D. Salinger poem, called 'The Sacred Forest' or something along that line. It was intended as a response to 'The Wasteland', though it wasn't very good--'The Underground Forest' maybe? I don't remember where I read it, I'm probably all muddled up.. This underground forest symbolized, don't know what--the secret vitality of culture? Anyway, he was very critical of T.S. Eliot-- I could be all wrong, though. Someone else altogether could've written that. --Samuel +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
