> if mr. salinger won't collect his early stories in a book, it's > doubtful he would let one become a play Don't worry, I totally agree - I think what Garfunkel was saying is that in an ideal world that is the role that he'd like to play - it's kind of like a rhetorical answer (if there is such a thing). And the thing that interested me is that he appeared to be talking about a play that *doesn't* belong to that early period - I've run it by Steve Foskett (who I imagine would have a better knowledge the unpublished works than me) and he doesn't recognise the story line that Garfunkel gives - which additionally seems to be written from the point of old age rather than youth. The whole thing has mystified me - if it turns out it isn't a story that is already in circulation (illicit or otherwise) - how did Garfunkel get his hands on it ? When I find that article, I'll post it on Bananafish and see if anyone else recognises it. Camille verona_beach@geocities.com @ THE ARTS HOLE www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Theater/6442
