Hmm, Late as usual, I am. But I cannot sit back as someone insults "my"
Hemingway. I once heard that many women dislike him because of his
pseudo-macho exterior. Let a man be a man. And he did concern women in his
novels in much the same way that some other men dealt with women in their
novels. I shall write no more. Just a caution before I confuse myself,
and perhaps others :o)
As for Salinger...I think today might be a perfect day for bananafish.
