I apologize if my reply is a little late and perhaps this point has already
been mentioned since I've got loads of unread mail (most of which being from
Bananafish) and am only up to Scottie Bowman's "a thought". But I resent that
Vanity Fair as well as some people on this mailing list is comparing
Salinger's (alleged) consensual, as well as legal relationship with an adult
woman to Nabocov's character's raping of a minor. Completely different
situations.
Also, as I read Catcher In The Rye originally and the part where Holden is
asking the cab driver where the ducks went in the winter, I was frusterated
because I see the answer as obvious. Doesn't everyone learn in gradeschool
that birds fly south for the winter?
