Re: Salinger's Problem with Westerners?

    Jules et Jim et John et Al,

    Is it possible you don't recognise the great reservoir of irritation
    with academic critics that has built up among the rest of us,
    the well-known running readers. (Not to mention the sitting
    writers.)

    Really? Well, how about that strange protuberance jutting out
    above your upper lip - yes, that thing in the mirror there, the thing
    that makes the morning narcissism such a tricky operation.

    Yocum & Patrick sound a good deal more serious about books
    than I ever was. But to consign the three of us, & our like,
    implicitly, to the ranks of the knuckle-trailers is a teenshy,
    TEENSHY, weenchy bit - dare I say it ? - arrogant.

    Scottie B.
