Hi!
I've never read the essay, so all stumblings are my
own.
Interestingly, the one bit of factual information
Salinger has added to the suicide story, is that
Seymour wrote a haiku on the desk blotter the
afternoon of the suicide--the one about the little
girl on the plane who turns her doll's head around to
look at him. Oddly, another little girl...
(In fact Buddy mentions this twice: once in Zooey and
once in Seymour: an Intro.)
Bye!
Midge
