<< The other thing is the idea that if Buddy was the author of "Teddy",
he also authored all of "Nine Stories" which would explain the numerous
Glass family references. If that's the case, at what point does Buddy's
voice and Salinger's begin and end? Are they one and the same?
I haven't decided.

Woah, wait a minute....where's the allusion in S:AI to Buddy being the author
of "Teddy"? Please quote, that'd be interesting...
Buddy is part of Salinger's voice, just like all the other members of the
glass family. If you picture Salinger's voice as being a large circle, all
his characters are smaller circles within it. I suspect Buddy may fill up
more of the larger circle than other characters, and perhaps at times the
lines of his circle are parallel to the lines of Salinger's, but I think those
times are rare...
