DESCRIPTION
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 Caufield. 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.

WHAT'S INSIDE
1
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. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my
parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty
personal about them. They’re quite touchy about anything like that, especially
my father. They’re nice and all—I’m not saying that—but they’re also touchy as
hell. Besides, I’m not going to tell you my whole goddam autobiography or
anything. I’ll just tell you about this madman stuff that happened to me around
last Christmas just before I got pretty run-down and had to come out here and
take it easy. I mean that’s all I told D.B. about, and he’s my brother and all.
He’s in Hollywood. That isn’t too far from this crumby place, and he comes over
and visits me practically every week end. He’s going to drive me home when I go
home next month maybe. He just got a Jaguar. One of those little English jobs
that can do around two hundred miles an hour. It cost him damn near four
thousand bucks. He’s got a lot of dough, now. He didn’t use to. He used to be
just a regular writer, when he was home. He wrote this terrific book of short
stories, The Secret Goldfish, in case you never heard of him...

PRAISE
"In Mr. Salinger we have a fresh voice. One can actually hear it speaking, and
what is has to say is uncannily true, perceptive, and compassionate."—Clifton
Fadiman, Book-of-the-Month Club News
"We read The Catcher in the Rye and feel like the book understands us in deep
and improbable ways."—John Green
"A contemporary master--a genius...Here was a man who used language as if it
were pure energy beautifully controlled, and who knew exactly what he was doing
in every silence as well as in every word."—Richard Yates, New York Times Book
Review
"Salinger's work meant a lot to me when I was a young person and his writing
still sings now."—Dave Eggers
