Happy New Year, all! It's 2011 now, but of course I am still drowning in business from 2010. Can I catch up by the end of January? Place your bets now!

Huh. The Salinger one sounds kind of interesting. Here's hoping it gets published, since it seems like an interesting read for any Salinger fan.

[trinityofone]

Definitely! I need more people to discuss it with, if nothing else!

[weimar27]

Yeah.

Salinger's novels about the Glass family are some of my favorites. But I think my fav of his (and it's about one of the Glasses, i think) is the short story "A Perfect day for Bannanafish." It's an amazing story.

I love that story, too! And yeah, "Bananafish" is about Seymour, who's the unnaturally precocious seven-year-old in Hapworth. But how much is really Seymour, and how much is Buddy writing Seymour? MYSTERY!
