I'm with you. Catcher in the Rye reads like a true day in the life of a
middle-class teenage bipolar--beautiful and psychologically impressive and
spiritually illuminating at once. Henderson the Rain King (the Counting
Crows song notwithstanding) reads like the transcript of an episode of
Gilligan's Island.
