...together to see the latest in Hammer horror--The Best in the Cellar, for example--and have a meal afterwards. His favorite place was a little dive just outside Soho (which caters to tourists and has higher prices) where for about a dollar you could get an entire chop-suey meal. Having chosen between chicken or beef chop suey and orange or tomato juice, Barrie would resume the conversation he had begun as we walked out of the movie house...
...Kissinger's chop means "Henry Carrier Pigeon.") Kissinger has been the American impresario for the China trip. But in Peking this week, he stays discreetly in the background physically, saving himself for long sessions with the President.

...backbone to these episodes. His lack of context limits him to musings that are Salinger's style but not his content. "A High Building In Singapore" remains just a funny remark overheard on a San Francisco street while Buddy's run-in with the little girl at the lamb chop counter has a significance to Salinger's fictional world that goes beyond the immediate narrative. One author has involved himself to capacity in the life of the very real Glass family while the other is a literary hobo who leaves town as quickly as he came...
