In RHTRBC, Buddy complains that world doesn't see Seymour for the poet he
is...Gary Lane, however, in "Seymour's Suicide Again: JD Salinger's
'APDFB'," does attempt to explain Seymour's bullet eating in terms of
Rilke's Duino Elegies...nice piece of poetic logic though I don't buy into
the idea that Salinger was reflecting Rilke since I think Seymour is more
than Rilke's poems even though there are enough direct allusions to make
the case. will
