TRTR About The Recognitions too?...i.e. the author, not the characters....

[Mark Kohut]

Stephen Metcalfe at Slate on Salinger: 
His characters look at the world, at the implacable surface of post-war 
affluence, and cannot believe no body else sees the cracks veining slowly 
through it. What will pierce the surface of things? Jesus? The Bodhisatva? 
Psychosis? He never said. 


I am not going to link it here because I suspect few will be really interested 
but I recommend
Metcalfe more recently on Slate re Nozick's libertariansim---and his later 
rejection. 

Rawls is cited....

Decently relevant to some of our online political discusioons...
