Paul Newman wrote Catcher in the Rye. White Rabbit said it right, "Red Queen was off with her head and the WHITE KNIGHT was walking backwards. Paul introduced a thought, just briefly, in preparation of the book, then stepped back. Wrote another note, then stepped back. One foot forward two feet back but with Catcher in the Rye, it was like, he really wanted not to be yellow, he really wanted people to know that he was the catcher in the rye but estimated the value of his ears, nose, fingers and feet, thus, he stepped back ten feet. He was in the shadows watching, listening, anticipating, hating...a lot...like a cat watching a mouse. He wanted to say that he was the catcher during a baseball game that wherein the pitcher was to throw the game for gamblers, but he didn't. He wanted to say that he followed an abduction of the child of the pitcher but he didn't. He wanted to say that he laid all night in the rye waiting to rescue that frighten female child he would call "little sister" but he sort of said it in a way that included her as a person of value. Here is a glass to yellow people who walk a very fine line and keep out of trouble.
