I think that he still has that website out there. What he did was actually
ask his Lit. Students to write a paper about the experience of reading
Catcher in the Rye. After all of the brouhaha (is that a word?) I went to
look at it several weeks later. Heck if I can remember his name, but there
were one or two student essays really worth reading.
Too bad, really. He just took the wrong tack with this group - playing up
the "bootleg Salinger" rather than the real content. I'll look and see if I
can find the web address again and post it at a later date.

Catcher. It was really more an experiment in free speech on the cyberwaves

during his brief stay at the Bananafish table. Remember?
