Bananafish/Zen Questions

Bananafish:
1. Is the bananafish a representation of Seymour and his PTSD from the war? If so in what way?

2. Why does Seymour have these connections with younger children such as Sybil and Sharon Lipchutz, but we see no true relations with him and Muriel?

Zen:
1. If Koan absolutely refuses to be grasped how to you know as the disciple of Zen that you achieved the final step?

2. If in Zen intellectual solutions are futile how could diseases ever be cured?
