About this product

Product Information

Anyone who has read J.D. Salinger's New Yorker stories ? particularly A Perfect Day for Bananafish, Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut, The Laughing Man, and For Esme ? With Love and Squalor, will t be surprised by the fact that his first vel is fully of children. The hero-narrator of THE CATCHER IN THE RYE is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caulfield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days. The boy himself is at once too simple and too complex for us to make any final comment about him or his story. Perhaps the safest thing we can say about Holden is that he was born in the world t just strongly attracted to beauty but, almost, hopelessly impaled on it. There are many voices in this vel: children's voices, adult voices, underground voices-but Holden's voice is the most eloquent of all. Transcending his own vernacular, yet remaining marvelously faithful to it, he issues a perfectly articulated cry of mixed pain and pleasure. However, like most lovers and clowns and poets of the higher orders, he keeps most of the pain to, and for, himself. The pleasure he gives away, or sets aside, with all his heart. It is there for the reader who can handle it to keep.

A great story of youth morals in mid-twentieth century USA.
This novel took me to a world with which I was unfamiliar. Salinger writes clearly and expressively, maintaining the distinctive style of his subject's chatacter.

A classic novel
Some books become classics for very good reasons. This is one of them. Salinger turned his war experience into a remarkable tale of Holden Caulfield a troubled young man who tries to resist adultivity.
