Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself to you all as this is my first official day as a member of this group. I am a recent NYU grad and a devout fan of JDS. I stumbled onto this group quite by accident. After re-reading RHTRC and Seymour:An Introduction, I felt my usual frustration at not having more of JDS's work to enjoy besides the well-known published work, all of which I've repeatedly read. But this time was slightly different in that the Internet beckoned as a place where I hoped to find something that would feed my insatiable appetite. Happily, I found the Bananafish home page. Imagine my surprise when the page finished loading and I found myself looking at a picture of .....BUDDY GLASS! exactly as described in "Seymour." The dark eyes, the fleshy nose (without the bend that Seymour's nose had, rending it almost "aristocratic" in Seymour's opinion) the receding chin...I knew I'd found a home. I look forward to reading everyone's thoughts and sharing some of mine. Cordially, Peggy Jean-Louis
