Most of the articles I am finding in MLA and ABELL and such, so far at least, are dealing with either, the damnable, "Catcher" or with religion and philosophy. I am pretty sure already that these are avenues I don't want to pursue in Salinger's fiction, but I don't know exactly what I do want to get at.
Speaking of, I need to look for the following article anyway...
O'Connor, Dennis L.: "J. D. Salinger's religious pluralism: the example of 'Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters'." Southern Review (Baton Rouge, LA) (20) 316-32. (1984)
I reposted this for you in case you hadn't read it. Maybe it doesn't help, but it can't hurt.
