About this ebook

Salinger wrote a letter to Esquire in 1945: "The men who have been in this war deserve some sort of trembling melody rendered without embarrassment or regret," (Esquire). In 1951, Salinger delivered just that.

The Catcher in the Rye is not a war novel, but a riveting amalgam of the disillusionments and malcontent that Salinger likely incubated throughout his young life. Depression, trauma, and loss of innocence are brought to a point so fine that the book's publication erupted critical and popular disagreement on a scale that remains unmatched today.

Ratings and reviews

In my failed attempt to get a copy of the Actual book, I ended up buying a wide array of study guides about the book, to my knowledge no app sells "The Catcher In The Rye" in digital format 🤬 There are ones that advertise as if you'll be obtaining the book with footnotes et al. Do not be fooled. This:one of many I bought. Stupidly on my part when it said including summary I thought+book. Out of the pile of study guides I now have this isn't one of the best. Hope to read book they're all talking about 😥
