    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?"

Yeah, that's a pretty good idea, develop it a bit, eh?
