Will...you're in an English professor?(rhetorically asked) Very
interesting. I always assumed that profs eschewed Salinger, especially his
less "mainstream" work (i.e. everything other than Catcher). Anyway, I
would just like to say that as an English major I am very relieved (and
elated) to find a professor who appreciates and connects with the odd
intricacies of the Glass family. Maybe I'm just at the wrong school.
