The Inverted Forest

It should probably be retitled, "Portrait of the Artist as a Screwed-Up
Guy."

woo. What a read. Why he didn't republish it, I don't know. I'd much
rather see that in a book than "Hapworth." It certainly provides fodder
for those wanting to draw parallels between Salinger and his characters,
right or wrong, though -- may contribute to it. The "Murielish"
character is actually treated sympathetically and presented as a victim
of her love for the poet and his emotional...problems, however you want
to define them. It's said he's gone "cold inside."
