Steve G makes an interesting turn in identifying another strand of S's
suicide--yes, though too young to know, I imagine dealing with peace after
war was tricky and we know jds had his probs with that, and so it's
possible
S was able to get beyond it with a child's innocence but not a woman's
desire...but I don't know if I  like that slant...certainly later glass
stories could be a cover up of sorts, but I prefer using some eastern
thinking (as well as rilke's poetry as Gary Lane did in his article,
"Seymour's Suicide Again: A New Reading of J.D. Salinger's APDFB) to find
meaning in his death and actually his sense of reincarnation and former
lives might have more of a hindu spin...will
