The Catcher in the Rye

By J. D. Salinger

Holden Caulfield leaves school and wanders through New York City, caught between childhood and an adult world he finds dishonest. His voice is funny, wounded, judgmental, and unforgettable, making this one of American literature’s defining portraits of alienation.

Why we carry it

Beneath the rebellion is a young person trying to protect what still feels honest. Misfits have recognized themselves in Holden for generations.
