Teacher: Suppose Mr. Salinger didn't mean anything by the bananafish.
Suppose he was just ass-bored with the story he was writing about
Seymour, and he stuck the bananafish bit in there to fill out the
middle. Does that mean we have to ignore it? Are we oblidged "not to
go there"?
Brad: Of course not, but the real question is "are we obliged to go
there?" (I suspect the answer is "yes" for anyone who cares about their
grade.) Is "there" the only alternative to Cliff's Notes and Oprah's
book of the month club? If I actually manage to get "there", will I
ever be able to get back? Is "there" interesting or even desirable?
The population over "there" seems rather small, and the standard of
living below average. Just where are you taking me anyway?
