I just mean that Holden can never tell us what he MEANS...He can only give us examples. He's completely elliptical, because he doesn't know how to say exactly how he feels. He's got the support without the thesis. God, I don't know. I haven't got the book in front of me right now. I'll think about it some more and get back to you...Meanwhile, if anyone knows what I mean, lend me a hand, eh? I'm a half-inarticulate 20-year-old, myself.
