That's a weird theme that seems to crop up a lot in Salinger. In one of his
very early stories `The Long Debut of Lois Taggert', Lois' husband breaks
her foot with a golf club, `loving her hugely' as he does it. Injuring the
thing you love most ... very mysterious yet a theme strangely pertinent to
him.
