Whose interpretation is this?! It's terrible; I mean, god-awful. Turly-burly 04:06, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Since we have no knowledge of Lisa Willoughby's credentials I hardly think its prudent to advance a theory by her. I have my own interpretations of the story, but I certainly would not quote myself or have anyone cite me if they were writing a wikipedia page on the matter. --Jordan
Furthermore, I just deleted the other interpretation. If that section is going to be written, it has to have substantiated opinions. There are plenty of different literary criticisms of Salinger's stories, so instead of us trying to supply interpretations, we get interpretations who have made this kind of thing their life's work. While every interpretation is valid, trying to project our personal opinions here is in pretty bad taste for any reader who comes to this page looking for information on the story. --Jordan
[edit] Link to Unlicensed Online Publishing of Copyrighted Work?
I'm removing the link to the online version of "A Perfect Day for Bananafish". I *think* that website's content consitutes piracy in the U.S. If I'm completely off-base feel free to revert. Turly-burly 01:21, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
That website is unlawful, this is true. It is strange though, because from what I can tell, it has been around for a long time. It seems like Salinger is pretty good at stopping things like that. Who knows... jordan 15:44, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Allusions to other works of art
Salinger makes an allusion to German Poet Rainer Maria Rilke. I think this information would make a good addition - any other allusions or references might be helpful as well.
