RE: teddy, at ten, is seymour at thirty.

Interesting thanks, when I first read Bananafish after catcher I was
imagining some one unable to adjust back to post war life, of course the
rest of the saga changed that impression.

bananafish seymour isn't a mystic, unless you count
the bananafish parable as the mouthing of a mystic.
he is poetry reader. (there's nothing to intimate he
himself is a poet.) nothing that i see is colored by
eastern thought. bananafish seymour is of the west; at
best his religion is poetry. yes to phantom wives,
just like inverted forest.

teddy is far far advanced beyond bananafish seymour.
in fact there's no comparison. comparisons become
possible with glass saga seymour.

i like your connecting hapworth with teddy. note
seymour is calm about his life expectancy of a well
preserved telephone pole.
