Hello Again
I have been off the list but now I am back and happier than ever to be
back. I never knew how sad and lonely it can be without e-mail and all
its beautiful lists. But anyway I have just graduated from the
University of Southern Colorado (I didn't skip my diploma like Salinger)
and here is my problem: Does anyone else on the list seem to think that
Salinger's choice of words or his idiom I think you call it haunt anyone
else. I write short stories sort of and that' my problem right there I
seem to use Salinger's voice. I know that I am ripping him off and want
the feel without using the exact words that he use but they just feel so
familiar in capturing an innocence. And don't get me wrong I am no hack
I have honestly read all of Salinger's prose home movies published and
unpublished so I am wondering if I am just being neurotic or thinking of
Salinger too much. Any thoughts.
Also thanks for having me on the list again.
Suerte
