I'm new not only to the bananafish chatgroup but to chatgroups
in general. I've never been in one. I just stumbled onto this group
cuz i wondered how readers/critics explained the suicide (i'd forgotten
seymour's name, but "bananafish" is hard to forget, and the scene is
pretty haunting). Anyway, you and your husband's reaction was identical
to mine: seymour desired to see more of little girls than healthy men
oughtta desire. Of all Salinger's work, i've read only Catcher and this
one story, but i'm inspired (hooked) by all this bananafish banter to
get in deeper. That, plus re-reading Catcher last year when my son had
to read it for school, plus the affirmation of seeing that someone else
like you found the same thing i found in that mysterious story. Anyway,
i'll hit "SEND" like launching a bottle into the ocean, and hope this
reaches you, your chatgroup, or someone (alas, i'm still in the internet
Dark ages)---
