No, you misunderstand me. Of course Salinger did not kill off Seymour to
annoy his critics, it's the central mythology of the whole Glass world - but
nor did he toss away the burden of writing himself into a corner by starting
the Glass stories in such a startling way. And yes, I do think that his
explanation is a hall-of-mirrors type proposition. It's an ideal way of
explaining Salinger's reclusiveness, actually - because if you walk into a
hall of mirrors, you see only yourself, from every conceivable angle.
Salinger writes to every person in that hall of mirrors; sometimes he does
not even seem to be aware that they are all himself. How dispiriting (for me)
to think of communication as such a one-sided affair!
