Do you think it possible that the sort of
postmodernist literary critics described in the above
link are the reason why JD Salinger is more amenable
to Japan than the United States?

Reading the introductory note to RHTRBC And S:AI makes
me think that he is pleading for people to stop
deconstructing things in such a fashion and, for God's
sake, to just read the goddamn story and enjoy it in
the same way that someone can enjoy the simplicity and
beauty of a Japanese haiku or Chinese poem.
