If I say much about my book you'll ask me more questions about "marketing
myself as a Salinger scholar." If six years in grad school for the phd is
"marketing" or a life long love of reading and in particular reading
Salinger's fiction is marketing, if I have written a few sholarly essays
(my last one in _Issues in Writing_ vol 7 number 2 is hardly academic but
I do call on Seymour for help) and you think that is marketing, then know
this buddy--I'm pretty pathetic because I don't make any money on any of
this scholarship. I do however feed my heart with thinking about Salinger
stuff and sing it online...I suppose you could call that net marketing...
if however, you are referring to me marketing myself as a professor, then
i suppose so...though my salinger scholarship is not what most schools
find attractive. I'm a poet trained to teach creative writing by Richard
Hugo and I'm a "techie-teacher" who likes to design and implement
computerized writing classrooms and teach in them...and to survive in my
field I do indeed have to publish as well as teach well. If being active
on this list is part of that, I consider myself a fortunate fella.
Exactly how, Paul G, do you market your self?
