Yeah, it is ... I haven't got a page reference yet, but Buddy talks about
the composition of both `Teddy' and `Bananafish' (interesting question:
does that mean he wrote *all* the 9 Stories or just the Glass related
ones?) - including the fact that the Seymour of Bananafish was more like
himself than the `real' Seymour and that Teddy was in some cogent way,
based on Seymour as well. So that makes Teddy a fictional character based
on a fictional character !
