I totally agree on this. A FAQ is perfect for a band listserv for example
(Where do I get Bootleg X, How tall is Billy Corgan etc etc) but on a list
such as this, we are not posing answerable questions. Although I for one
would be quite interested to hear the Questions and their answers!
Q: Is Franny pregnant?
A: Yes, with twins, which she names Waker and Seymour
Q: Why did Seymour commit suicide?
A: He was, as Muriel's mother correctly guessed, gay. He was having an
affair with Carl Luce.
and so on ...
Yes, certain topics *do* come up repeatedly. But so too do new opinions and
ideas on these topics, and that's why I'm on this list.
The questions Salinger poses us with are like koans - even no answer is an
answer, so if anyone of you can tell me what the sound of one hand clapping
is, *then* I'll help with a FAQ. (:
