According to most scholars I've read, there's little doubt Salinger
was tallking about rilke...Gary Lane, in an essay in _Studies in Short
Fiction_ (10)does a good job of explaining how understanding Rilke offers
an
explanation of seymour's suicide...see "Seymour's Suicide Again: A New
Reading of J.D. Salinger's 'A Perfect Day for Bananafish'" by Gary Lane in
l973.

For those who buy into Salinger's aversion to "section men," this may be a
good article to see how you can really use criticism to deepen your own
readings...Gary Lane not only gave me a better read on the salinger story,
but he also helped me get a better feel for rilke as well...will
