Aha! You're right! My memory opens - Salinger actually denied the first publishers who wanted to publish TCIR the rights because they *did* think that Holden was crazy! He felt passionate enough about this to actually take back his book and not let them publish it. Thankyou for jerking my memory into action. > mon innocence me farait pleurer. > arthur rimbaud One of my favourite poets ... you could even see Rimbaud as a bit of a Holden, at a stretch. They've finally released Total Eclipse out here and it's getting nasty nasty reviews ... Camille verona_beach@geocities.com @ THE ARTS HOLE www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Theater/6442
