RE: franny & zooey

Or he changed them slightly between the stories because he wanted the
details to support his story and he couldn't go back and undo the previous
story. I love how Tolkien approached these discontinuities in his Middle
Earth works, he incorporates them as artifacts of the recording of
'history'. Maybe Buddy misremembered the details. Or Franny was lying to
here boyfriend to hide the family oddity (Seymour) from the section man
wannabe.
