It just makes me wonder about the merits of structuralist readings of
texts...I mean, how do we bananafish-listers feel about trying to read
Salinger's works by guessing his intent? I read a lot of Derrida >>
I wonder about that too- I was wondering why I kept getting angry reading
responses... but I ralize it's because I feel a little defensive to the books
and the author, as in... why are we picking it apart so much? I mean obviously
it's the point of this newsletter thing in the first place.. but it seems
sometimes we get carried away with... "this is what he was probably
thinking..."
