eh...I read it. I was impressed with the writing -- she wrote incredibly well
for an 18 year old (maybe today's 18 year olds don't write as well...I don't
know). I could see Salinger seeing her as a female Holden Caulfield, honest
in her perception with all the blinders that went along with her class,
wealth, and opportunities...

heh...I wonder if she gave up her virginity for Salinger given what she says
in that article about the environment at Yale... :)
