Re: intro-duct-ion

That is indeed a problem, isn't it? Seems like what I remember of
Alexander's bio that it didn't even properly read the stories, much less
archival material about the man's life. Margaret Salinger's _Dream
Catcher_ has too much of a personal agenda to be trusted a
biographically accurate about Salinger, but does offer some insights.

What we need is an Ellmann like guy to write a bio of Salinger :). I
think they're all waiting for the old guy to die before they even try.
