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.
