...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...
