The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger follows sixteen-year-old Holden Caulfield over a few unsettled days in New York City after he’s expelled from yet another boarding school just before Christmas. Restless and wary of what he sees as the “phoniness” of the adult world, Holden drifts through hotels, bars and late-night streets, striking up brief connections that rarely last. Told in Holden’s sharp, funny, and often raw voice, this classic coming-of-age novel captures teenage alienation, grief and the longing for something genuine. At its heart is Holden’s fierce love for his younger sister, Phoebe, and his struggle to make sense of growing up and leaving childhood behind. Useful additional information Author: J. D. Salinger
