this rumor's been kicked around before, and invariably leads to the rumor(s)
that matthew salinger wrote for "my so-called life" and/or "party of five."
however, i don't think there has been any substantial confirmation of any of
these claims.
on the other hand, i guess there's not been any absolute proof to the contrary
either. it does seem unlikely though.--matt
ps i just reread f&z last weekend. and (though i hate the franny pregnancy
debate and delete instantly any posts related to it, i'll allow myself the
luxury of hypocrisy for the moment) i started thinking about the fact that
they were originally published in magazines independent of one another. now
consider reading franny without reading zooey. you might get the impression
that she is pregnant. what with the swooning and sudden mood swings etc etc
etc. but if you read zooey directly after it, the thought is banished from
credibility. what was salinger's intention? are these two stories or one
book? likewise all the glass stories. is the reader assumed to be aware of
all the other stories when reading one? are the glass stories, as one critic
(i'm not sure who) suggests, supposed to be read as a novel, or are they
independent short stories contained completely within themselves?--ms
