And continued with my stumbling questions:
"In your eyes, can one separate the Seymour in APDFB from the Seymour
depicted in the other Glass stories? Or do you see the depiction of that
Seymour seamlessly leading to the Bananafish Seymour?"
So, Scottie,
>From reading your reply addressed to *Otto* in your post of yesterday, "Re:
Muriel, the girl for me":
"Otto,
The Seymour of Perfect Day was alive & unwell
& dying long before Raise High. The latter is
a different chap altogether. Same name, different
bloke."
Is it fair to say that your assessment of the character of the Bananafish
Seymour does not apply to the "Raise High and later stories" Seymour?
If so, it still leaves the $64,000 question. How would you describe the
"Raise High and later stories" Seymour?
Very good points in your post "The hobgoblin of mean minds."
