'... that's light years from the way a real suicide talks
about suicide ...'
I wish Jim would tell me his secret. The unforeseen suicide
is every decent shrink's nightmare. It's simply a mixture of
unimaginable luck & neurotically excessive caution that has kept
the score on my watch relatively low. I can promise Holden
would be the subject of a daily staff review in any outfit run
by myself.
Walking about wearing the mask of laughing stoic or wearisome
hysteric, you might be surprised to know how many of us waiting
to become what Donne called our 'owne executioners.'

PS - I STILL think you're behaving as sniffily superior as a bunch
of Austenites when someone tries for a parody of one of those
finally inconsequential books. (Except Cec, of course. At least
she put her own head on the block.)
