Of *course* he's angry. He's no longer a mystery man. We have penetrated
the ivory tower and we've found no Gentleman of Shalott but an eccentric
but essentially - or maybe the word should be `believable' - guy.

I found the Maynard book at my local esoteric bookstore today - I was very
surprised, I didn't know it was out here yet and haven't seen any reviews.
I only had a chance to flick through it but found a pretty amusing story
about Salinger trying to smoke a salmon by sticking it down his chimney. (:

But what could he contest? Like she said, it's her recollections, and
there's no way of copyrighting those, short of lobotomy.
