He's a little too travelled, too international for the young
Salinger fan (which accounts for the unpopularity of "D-D
Smith").  All those remote locations and frosty summits and
empty cafes and rues and bull fights and spanish bus rides can
discourage even the hardiest American teenager.  What is one
to do when confronted with such a curious mixture of ordinary,
monosyllabic English words and impossible foreign place names
and idioms and drinking practices?
