One of my students came up with a fine question and I wonder if any
bananafish know how Mr. Salinger supported himself from l946-l952. He may
have made enough on his short stories, and we can guess that catcher
royalties have since kept the Salinger family alive in the style to which
they've become accustomed, but I'm wondering how he handled money in his
early days...most starting writers have a pretty hard time dealing with a
livihood and writing...some like me take refuge in schools...but Mr.
Salinger never taught for an income and I'm wondering...will
