Comrades,


I've had this question in the back of my mind for a
long time, and I guess this would probably be the
best place to ask it:

" Is J.D. Salinger from the Beat Generation? "

I mean, he was writing and doing his thing around the
same time as those guys, and his writing is kinda
stream-of-conscious, for the moment, live-life kinda
stuff... I dunno, I am not exactly an expert on the
Beat Generation, some Ivy League professor on this
list will probably chew me out for saying all this,
but to ME he certainly does seem to be a part of the
whole Beat movement... Or at least inspired by the
Beat Generation... Or maybey vice versa... But good
lord, there has to be SOME connection! :-)


                     In Solidarity,


                       Ian Mayes
