Hello to all,
I'm new on this list. My name is Otto and I'm from Germany. I'm especially
interested in the things Salinger says about writing and storytelling.
By reading the following which you all recieved from the list owner I ask
myself: how is it possible to discuss the work of an author without quoting
text pieces occasionally?

>"Bananafish" exists to discuss Salinger's work, not to
>distribute Salinger's or anyone else's writing without the author's

Of course no one wants legal trouble and nobody wants to copy a whole story
but a >quote< is a quote and not necessarily "unauthorized reproduction."

Otto
