...The 1953-on Seymour, it might be, since "Teddy" effectively
signifies the demise of the original understanding of Seymour's
Florida frolick. I wonder, then--though such speculation would have
L.C. Knights absolutely convulsing in his grave--whether any of the
details in "Bfish" are at all "accurate"? Perhaps Buddy made the
whole thing up. Perhaps everything after the phone call (one bullet
excepted) is imaginative speculation. Once authorship switches from
JDS to Buddy and see more becomes Seymour, the events of "Bananafish"
become purely fictional.
