All I can offer is Bessie Glass and her nourishing bowls of chicken soup
which Salinger, son of a doting Jewish mother, surely got offered him after
such traumas as the breakdown of his Comanche leader and dropping all his
marbles on the floor of the museum. Perhaps - as it seems in this story -
it's simply a symbol of nurturing. >>
Yes Salinger's Mom converted if I'm not mistaken. I believe his father worked
in the meat industry in some form. Personally, I've always found the "Booby
