Oh, i know *that* ... I just meant reading it in the same way you read
Zooey again, a sort of `sponge reading' as I think of it, trying to draw
out all the things you may have missed last time. I must confess I'm
definitely more of a Frannyite than a Zooeyite

A bit of both ... I only know the precis of most of them but I do know that
you can find early Seymour types in both The Inverted Forest and The Varoni
Brothers. But the only stories of the Glasses are the ones we already have
in published form.
Sorry bout that (why am *I* apologising) There is however a whole lot of
stories about the Caulfield family, or an earlier version thereof. As
discussed already `Vincent' Caulfield is a sort-of D.B. and so on. The
titles I can think of now are `A Sea Full of Bowling Balls', `The Last Day
of The Last Furlough' and of course the two chapters of TCIR that were
published separately and in the third person - `I'm Crazy' and another one
whose name escapes me ... someone else would be much more qualified to talk
about these than I (will, are you out there ??? (: )
