"Bananafish" of the poem written by him on the desk blotter?"

And I might add:

In _Zooey_ we learn that S. died on 3/18/48. _APDFBF_ was published on
1/31/48.

Muriel remarks, "This is the hottest day they've had in Florida in--" which
sounds like _APDFBF_ takes place in the summer and not on 3/18/48.

*

Muriel remarks, "We couldn't get the room we had before the war." But we
know from _RHTRBC_ that they eloped _during_ the war.

More problems with that German typewriter.
