Well put, Walt.
Do not go gentle into that still night.
Not without that remote, at least.

If you are looking for insight into the enigmatic Seymour Glass, a real
introduction-the only one J.D. Salinger ever gives us to the man-than I
thoroughly recommend,even prescribe, a reading of Hapworth 16, 1924. Don't
worry if you don't get through it in one sitting, I am sure you don't read
400,000 words a day like Buddy. Just get to the part(s) on sensuality.
That story is poignant, juvenile yet refined.
I am not pulling your leg on this one, Walt.
Just about every theme this list has come up with in regards to the Glass
stories is found in that letter, and for once we don't have an alter-ego
giving us a half-assed vicarious production.

It's bonafide.

Cordially,
