i just reread bananafish.  Is it just commonly accepted that the banana fish
are to represent us.  And the bananas are knowledge.  When we enter the world.
we are young and innocent.  it is not until we start eating bananas that we
entrap ourselves in a web of intellect from which we can't escape - it
ultimately kills us.  Just as Salinger spelled out in Teddy.  Is this just
common sense that everyone accepts?  i honestly haven't been paying all too
much attention to the list.
