I think that's a really nice way of putting it - I think the indefinable
hope we all get out of TCIR has a lot to do with the fact that Holden
himself is taking the time to tell us his story. Perhaps it's catharsis; I
don't know. But whether a story is sordid or happy, there's something
special about being gathered around the campfire to be relegated with it.
