Seymour’s Fat Lady

I’m a freelance writer, gothic belly dancer, writing/grammar/copyediting teacher, and budding ukulele player living in NYC.

Why Seymour’s Fat Lady?

There isn’t anyone anywhere that isn’t Seymour’s Fat Lady. Don’t you know that? Don’t you know that goddam secret yet? And don’t you know — listen to me, now — don’t you know who that Fat Lady really is? . . . Ah, buddy. Ah, buddy. It’s Christ Himself. Christ Himself, buddy.

—J.D. Salinger, _Franny and Zooey_

 Franny and Zooey_ is one of my favorite novels of all time. And although there’s a Spanish pop/surf/New Wave band called Seymour’s Fat Lady, I’ve decided that I really can’t let go of the name. So there you go.
