In a message dated 98-04-13 13:40:02 EDT, you write:
<< Why does he make so large use of the word "old": old Phoebe, old
Maurice, old cap and the like? >>
Doesn't this come directly from Gatsby? I think holden says something like,
" i just love all that old sport stuff" Salinger paying homage to Fitzgerald,
was what I always took it as. Isn't there a passage where he references both
Ring Lardner and Fitzgerald in relation to DB? I can't find it, and my JD
interest resides with those snotty Glass kids anyway ( that's a playful jab
for you Brendan) So my copy of Catcher is not underlined or marked in anyway.
Now if anyone needs an inventory of the Glass family medicine cabinet....
