ya know, i thought susan stansburg came darn close to misrepresenting that
interview...it's curious though, then i thought that maybe eppes's
interview is like publishing hapworth? Who says salinger has to play by
his own rules? ya know...anyway, the eppes interview does coinfirm
salinger's sense of peace in not publishing (that's the most valuable
point of the interview) but it also goes on to discuss (mostly eppes's
thinking) about organic food and it becomes clear she's not much of an
interviewer when she asks him about the american dream but it turns out
jds makes it clear he women have an equal share in it! But then she asks
to take a picture of him...all in all, it's the story of a neo-journalist
who lucks out with a salinger interview ans still mangages to sound mostly
silly...(though not as silly as the deposition regarding hamilton's
book!;)will
