RIP JD

I, DoktorPeace, don't have much to say on JD Salinger, but here's what I think the best* American novelist would say about him:

My name is Mark Twain. Who? JD Salinger? Yes I suppose I'll have one, but make it with lime, and don't give me one of those pansy umbrellas. Had one in a drink out on the Sandwich Islands and damn near poked my eye out.

Huh? He's gonna be born 9 years after I die? And he's going to write a book that rivals my Adventures of Huckleberry Finn for most school and library bannings? Well good on him, then. Most lousy Americans wouldn't know controversy if it sneaked up and poked them in the eye. Like a miniature umbrella. But you knew I was going there... Whatever. I'm old. Leave me be.

That's all, and I take it all back because I don't want to put words about one legend in another legend's mouth.

I'll leave this one to the experts.

    Oh my what a solemn moment of Boys Meets World! Why is Feeney reading that? Did Sean try to turn it in as a work of his own?

    I received a Facebook comment on this post from a one Dean Lorenz, saying:

    "Why wasn't it Tom Wolfe?"
