I gather this is a week for folk of my generation to feel the drifting of those sands.
Yesterday Howard Zinn, who opened a critical read of history for me.
And now J. D. Salinger.
Zinn was important for me. And Salinger was a signal figure in my life, hard to describe my debt to him. As was true for many others, I believe…
Some of my early understanding of Zen came through him.
And I’ll always be grateful for his pointing me and so many others to the Way of A Pilgrim. Salinger was one of those who opened that pilgrim way which I still follow.
