Hello,
I agree with our so-called L. Manning Vines: The Catcher is the most
brilliant book of Salinger, because it's the most affective one. As Will
explained it once, the response to Salinger's works is very affective, and
it's particularly true concerning Catcher. Franny and Zooey is more
'intellectual'. In short, Catcher makes me 'feel', F &Z makes me 'think'.
And maybe it explains (if it can be explained...) why some weirdos killed or
tried to kill because of Catcher (sorry Will, I know you don't like that
subject...), but never because of F&Z. You're not expecting them to think,
right????
