In a message dated 97-10-21 16:53:21 EDT, you write:

<< it gets better--ray kinsella is the main character in "A Young Girl in
 l941 With No Waist At All" a story mr. salinger published in Mademoiselle
 in l947.  I almost wrote to mr. Kinsella (the author) to see if he knew
 that he was already a salinger character and if that was part of why
 salinger is a character in _Shoeless Joe_.>>

A friend of mine wrote Kinsella and asked him just that question.  All that
WP Kinsella replied was that Salinger once roomed with a Ray Kinsella in
school.  He didn't expand on the statement.
