I'd like to bring to attention that the fourth chapter of David Lodge's *The
Art of Fiction* (1992) - "Teenage Skaz," is about *The Catcher in the Rye*,
praising it for it's style for which "Salinger, the invisible ventriloquist"
had to hide his normal "diction" to "say everything he has to say about life
and death and ultimate values within the limitations of a seventeen-year-old
New Yorker's argot (...)" (Lodge, 1992, p. 20)
