"When I saw this one ("Wes Amerigo") in the NYer, I thought
and hoped it would be related to the KISSING stories. It
wasn't, but I enjoyed it much, nonetheless. Sorry you didn't."
Actually, I'm sorry I didn't automatically like it. It's always a pity
to find a discrepancy in taste with people one respects. I could see
it had relevance to the list, though. A 'wise child', witty dialogue, a
crisis in the family (and the family as the solution thereof). Perhaps
it would be interesting to pinpoint the differences with Salinger and
their effects. I also read the story Scottie mentioned: it sounded as
the stalled climax of the other stories from that book (which I haven't
read).
Incidentally, Tim, whom must one kill to get hold of Scottie's novels?
I truly hope it's not you, you happy owner.
Saludos,
Diego D.
