The son of Jewish and Irish vaudeville performers, he worked for British Intelligence during World War II, and eloped from his lavish New York wedding for an early honeymoon in Florida with his wife Muriel, who he soon begins to call "Miss Spiritual Tramp of 1948".
The son of Jewish and Irish vaudeville performers, he worked for British Intelligence during World War II, and eloped from his lavish New York wedding for an early honeymoon in Florida with his wife Muriel, who he soon begins to call "Miss Spiritual Tramp of 1948". He appears to prefer the company of young girls, such as Esme, an adolescent British choir singer, and the 4 year-old Sybil. He spent much of his youth trying to teach his equally precocious younger siblings the importance of the Upanishads, but eventually shoots himself in the head. FTP, name this eldest of the Glass children and protagonist of A Perfect Day for Banana Fish, the subject of a famous "Introduction" by J.D. Salinger?
