To the editor: Many years ago, I wrote to the Times that David L. Ulin recommended in his piece on the path of Holden Caulfield through Manhattan in “The Catcher in the Rye.” And now I am writing to congratulate him in another piece of walking, this time in the comforting routine of a daily walk through his neighborhood of Los Angeles.
It beautifully celebrates the individuality of the many communities that make this a “region full of character” instead of faceless expansion.
I felt it when Ulin left the Times. However, like the tranquility he finds when he sees the same people on their walk every day, I still have comforting to see their line in opinion from time to time, their writing as eloquent as ever.
