Novel by J.D. Salinger, published in 1951. The influential and widely acclaimed story details the two days in the life of 16-year-old Holden Caulfield after he has been expelled from prep school. Confused and disillusioned, he searches for truth and rails against the "phoniness" of the adult world. He ends up exhausted and emotionally ill, in a psychiatrist's office. After he recovers from his breakdown, Holden relates his experiences to the reader.

Re: The Catcher in the Rye

I was very surprised when my son had to read Catcher in the Rye in high school; I was sure he wouldn't enjoy it since he's a fantasy lover; he loved it!
My condolences to J.D.Salinger's family. He was a great writer.
