The Catcher in the Rye by J D Salinger

The Catcher in the Rye by J D Salinger

The "brilliant, funny, meaningful novel" (The New Yorker) that established J. D. Salinger as a leading voice in American literature--and that has instilled in millions of readers around the world a lifelong love of books. 

  

"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth." 

  

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, grappling with feelings of loneliness, grief, and alienation. His search for something genuine in a world that feels insincere and superficial remains urgent and unmistakably modern. 

  

In Holden's comic, cutting, and painfully sincere voice, readers discover a comradeship and understanding as they recognize the ache of being lost, and the impulse toward rebellion that comes with the passage into adulthood. The Catcher in the Rye resonates deeply and personally for every new reader. 

J.D. Salinger was born on January 1, 1919, in New York City, and died on January 27, 2010, in Cornish, New Hampshire. His stories appeared in a variety of publications, including The New Yorker. He wrote four book-length works of fiction between 1951 and 1963: The Catcher in the Rye, Nine Tales, Franny and Zooey, and Raise Up the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour--An Introduction. The novels have been praised and praised all across the world, and are credited with inspiring a lifelong love of reading in many people.
