B-Fishers,

Isn't the whole point of CITR, not that Holden is talking to a therapist,
but he is talking to us.  It seems immaterial if Salinger intended Holden
to be talking to a therapist in the sanatarium.  If Holden wrote/spoke
Catcher to anyone at the place, it might of been to a fellow "patient"
during a particularily dull period, while the two sneaked dargs on a
cigarette to avoid that damned pyschoanalyst type.

By the way, I was wondering what all this talk of my beloved E-town
(Edmonton) is about?  Has Jordie visited the fair city, or even lives
here? 

and....

In a particularily boring Math class, I reread RHtRB,C and this in turn
raised my doubts that Seymour even wrote Hapworth.  I believe Buddy says
something to the effect that Seymour was never a very extraordinary letter
writer and never got 5 letters from him...How can this Seymour write a 90
pg. + letter to the family back in the city?
