Franny and Zooey on Peter Pan: “Even before the curtain goes up at 'Peter Pan,' I'm a goddam puddle of tears.”
Babel Tower on Peter Pan: “Jude Mason 'repudiates this, quoting Peter Pan about being a little chicken sprung from the egg.'”
My Salinger Year on Peter Pan: “I was close enough to the glass now to make out some of the titles: a beautiful, ornate copy of Don Juan; an oversized edition of Peter Pan with what appeared to be the original illustrations; the moss-green binding of Alice in Wonderland.”
Just Kids on Peter Pan: “I protested vehemently and announced that I was never going to become anything but myself, that I was of the clan of Peter Pan and we did not grow up.”
The Maidens on Peter Pan: “The England of the Famous Five, and Peter Pan and Wendy; King Arthur and Camelot; Wuthering Heights and Jane Austen”
Quichotte on Peter Pan: “The shadow of Peter Pan had escaped at one point also, and had had to be caught and reattached to Peter's feet by Wendy's deft and careful needle. (Low confidence: no explicit title/author citation, but the shadow-sewing detail is a specific, unmistakable plot point unique to Barrie's story, not a bare character name-drop.)”
The Third Man on Peter Pan: “Marlowe's devils wore squibs attached to their tails: evil was like Peter Pan—it carried with it the horrifying and horrible gift of eternal youth.”
