> > In what aspects do you feel that Twain is somewhat "salingeresque?" I've heard Huck Finn be compared to Holden *a lot* of times - the first person narrator, the use of slang, his outsider status etc ... but I do think the comparison is a fairly superficial one. Here's another question though ... what do you think actually constitutes something being `Salingeresque' - i.e. if I were to write a formula Salinger story, what ingredients would I need?
