AUTHORS: JD Salinger |
 |
| JD Salinger is an American author
whose novel The Catcher in the Rye ranks as a
minor classic. The book became especially popular
among American high school and college students.
The hero and narrator of the story is Holden
Caulfield, a prep school dropout in search of
self-understanding and a meaning for his life.
His misadventures in New York City-namely with
his sister, a girl friend, a prostitute, and
others- are comic on the surface but agonizing
for Holden. In the end, Holden learns to face the
ugliness in life and the weaknesses in himself.
