Hi I'm new to the list!  It's great that so many people like me are
interested in J.D. Salinger's writing.  The first of his books I read was
"The Catcher in the Rye" and I thought it was the most wonderful book.  
       Anyhow, I have this question.  In "Nine Stories", you know, "A Perfect
Day for Bananafish", Seymour kills himself in the end.  I don't really get
that thing with the little girl, either.  Why does Seymour kill himself?  Any
thoughts?
