I'll also point out that criticism is necessary when new forms or innovation in art appear (which is hopefully most of the time but not necessarily so...). For example, SAI was pretty strange when it appeared,......................
What I meant is that criticism has possibly missed the target with SaI by approaching it as another Salinger short story. Jim is correct we all do criticism in one way or another. Salinger is not painting with broad brush strokes, his focus is narrow and specific. I think in SaI he is about the work of Dr. Frankenstein or Gepetto in trying to make his characters dance off the page and greet you.
