So, for instance, readers for the next six hundred years will understand
(interact with emotionally and intellectualy? feel a personal bond
with?) _Franny and Zooey_, but possibly not _Gatsby_?  Peruvian field
workers in 2010 will step gingerly over discarded copies of the Viking
_Beat Reader_ on their way to lunch break, where they will tear eagerly
through the pages of "D-D Smith"?
