As you can see, Cecilia, you're not likely to run into Scottie out at
Sandymount, pondering the cracked looking-glass of a servant and clawing
the moist stones at the foot of the martello tower. But I've faced him
down on _Ulysses_ and, though I gave up considerable ground myself, he's
not so fierce about it in the end.

I can't believe that Salinger had any special fondness for _Ulysses_,
however. I suppose he chuckled regularly through "Cyclops," but then
it's certain that "the ineluctable modality of the visual" positively
turned his stomach. Hard to believe that Holden Caulfield could
tolerate a chump like Stephen Dedalus. The soaring artist of the
yonger, charming _Portrait_, perhaps, but never the bullock-befriending
bard of the post-mythic _Ulysses_.
