How about Seymour is a pedophile, and dad likes to make all sorts of crazy
references in his works?

And what are we to think of this?

Seymour likes the Wasteland?
Seymour is literate?
Seymour felt secure in the winter of his pre-war days and is "surprised" by
the summer of his post-war days?
Seymour is surprised by Sharon's name coming up so often the same way that
the lead of the Wasteland is surprised by summer?

Well? What's the answer? Anyone have JDS's phone number? I'm gonna call and
ask him.
