Jim: You're an author, and a good one. I'm confident you understand the concept of "allusion." It's a pity my writing skills are so poor that I cannot convey a reference to another idea, as an example, without being taken so literally that the idea is distorted. But of course you are a good enough writer that you use allusion all the time. For instance, you said in your review that Caulfield is calling Oswald a Nazi. That literally is not true. He never says that. But all your readers understand that is what you think Caulfield means.
I am looking forward to reading the remainder of your review.
