I was searching Salinger books on the web and came across the
following blurb...this interests me because I have been attuned to
the poetic qualities of Salinger's fiction and wondered about the
influences (Rilke can't do it all!)...do we bananafish know anything
about Salinger even taking a course from Towne? will
