Thank you, Claire.

I am in a hurry to re-read these stories as soon as possible.

How wonderful it is to read about JD Salinger today. I kept telling my kids in the car tonight that I didn’t know why I was so sad about his death: 91, natural causes is pretty good.

And yet it feels Central Park is leaving, “It’s a Wise Child” is going off the air, Franny’s train is departing forever, and the bananafish are leaving with love and squalor. I so enjoyed your words, though I hope you will reread “Catcher in the Rye” as a parent.
