RE: Salinger's Problem with Westerners?

While its true that the lit crit critic did go on to slam a wide range of
scholars and their endeavors without more than a brief acquaintance with the
subject, his point at the beginning rings very true. And that is outside of
academia, no matter what you do (as a career) you generally need to be able
to articulate concepts to a wide range of people not just those that share
your own narrow focus. A definition of teacher (a subset, I suppose of
faculty) is someone who can communicate the knowledge or insight that they
have amassed in their narrow world to the "outside". So the academicians
that either, out of arrogance or their own (gasp) ignorance communicate by,
of and for their own narrow world are fair game for a little send up from
the outsiders...Walter
