Informazioni su questo libro
"The Catcher in the Rye: New Essays presents a variety of new approaches to this extremely popular and intensely influential novel, ranging from the examination of the intertextual relationship between The Catcher in the Rye and Cormac McCarthy's All the Pretty Horses, to the evaluation of Salinger's mythic place in American film and popular culture, to the interrogation of what it means for a reader to claim that a novel such as The Catcher in the Rye has changed his or her life. These essays provide new commentary and new insights and demonstrate the continuing relevance of Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, and Holden Caulfield to American culture and literature, and, in turn, to American cultural and literary studies."--BOOK JACKET.

Cosa Dicono i Lettori
“Divisive for a reason. The people who hate it missed the subtext. The people who love it felt seen.”
“This book saved me as a teenager. It told me someone understood. That's what great literature does.”
“The phoniness Holden rails against is real. He's not wrong about the world, he just doesn't know how to live in it.”

Divisive for a reason. The people who hate it missed the subtext. The people who love it felt seen.
The phoniness Holden rails against is real. He's not wrong about the world, he just doesn't know how to live in it.
Short, punchy, and unforgettable. Even if you don't like Holden, you can't forget him.
Read between the lines - this isn't about a whiny teen, it's about grief and trauma. Holden is broken.
The scene with Phoebe on the carousel is one of the most beautiful moments in American fiction.
Salinger captured teenage alienation like nobody else. The voice is so authentic it hurts.
Better when you're young and angry at the world. As an adult I see Holden with more compassion and sadness.
