Hey Team:

I've been enjoying a little something about our boy JD by a Dr. Mrs. Liz
Kurian.  Anyone know of it?  It's got this long-a#% title that includes
$.50 words like "dilemma" and "existential" and "religious response." 

Among some nice ideas out religion in Salinger's oeuvre, she calls
Holden a "fool for Christ," his compulsion to flee Percy (a vulgar,
adult world) and to perserve youth's innocence (catching the youngsters
in the rye).  And since innocence and the like are tenets of the Gospel
message, our somewhat neurotic Holden is then its messanger.  

I'll concede points on my paraphrase, but it still seems a strech. What
do you think?   Add what do you think:  can you Ph.D. types recommend
solid critical responses to religion and JDS?

Keeping on, keeping on,
Josh
