I'm glad someone else noticed that - it seemed to me some really weird, Oepidal stuff was happening there - her mother dressing her up in the dress with the ABCs on it was particularly creepy. I imagine also that Maynard has - just like us - turned the real man Salinger into a collection of different things, mainly a projection of her own mind. I think by studying Salinger and his phenomena we tend to learn and reveal a lot about ourselves. We were studying the concept of foregrounding in Postmodernism yesterday - we were using the Starr report as our basis (have you heard Ms Lewinski is at our sunny shores by the way?) - certain aspects were censored - but *after* they had already been disclosed (i.e. `cigar' was altered to `object') - which had the effect of drawing attention to the thing rather than detracting from it. I wonder if Salinger is aware of a similar phenomena?
