Michael--
Your original post stated that we may be reading too much into Salinger's
stories, rather than just enjoying them. I think you're having the
problem most people have when they walk into the middle of a
conversation--some of the things being said don't completely make sense.
Scottie was someone who voiced similar sentiments earlier (and much more
eloquently).
I don't think anyone is worshipping Salinger here. I wrote that he's not
necessarily that nice a guy in person--not a demon or something. The
sensibilities conveyed through his fiction are those of a compassionate
man who lives on a level above most of those around him morally and
spiritually, but can't deal with it.
Jim
