<< Fishers,
Am I the only who sees the Laughing Man as being a brilliant,
creative, infernally clever story about the relationship between writers
and their fiction? Sure there's the lost love angle, and the loss of
innocence stuff (both of which I love...probably too much), but I think
Salinger is trying to tell us something about art and creativity here,
too. The whole story strikes me as the answer that Buddy would give if a
well meaning psychiatrist ever asked him, "So, why do you write?"

would you elaborate on this?
