THE CATCHER IN THE RYE
The Catcher in the Rye is J . D. Salinger's world-famous novel of disaffected youth.
It's Christmas and Holden Caulfield has just been expelled from yet another school. Fleeing the crooks at Pencey Prep, he pinballs around New York City seeking solace in fleeting encounters - shooting the bull with strangers in dive hotels, wandering alone round Central Park, getting beaten up by pimps and cut down by erstwhile girlfriends.
The city is beautiful and terrible in all its lonesome neon glamour, its mingled sense of possibility and emptiness. Holden passes through it like a ghost, thinking always of his kid sister Phoebe, the only person who really understands him, and his determination to escape the phonies and find a life of true meaning.
The Catcher in the Rye is an all-time classic coming-of-age story: an elegy to teenage alienation, capturing the deeply human need for connection and the bewildering sense of loss as we leave childhood behind.
J. D. SALINGER
Jerome David Salinger, born New York City, Jan. 1, 1919, established his reputation on the basis of a single novel, The Catcher in the Rye 1951 , whose principal character, Holden Caulfield, epitomized the growing pains of a generation of high school and college students. The public attention that followed the success of the book led Salinger to move from New York to the remote hills of Cornish, N.H. Before that he had published only a few short stories; one of them, A Perfect Day for Bananafish, which appeared in The New Yorker in 1949, introduced readers to Seymour Glass, a character who subsequently figured in Franny and Zooey 1961 and Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenter and Seymour: An Introduction 1963 , Salinger's only other published books. Of his 35 published short stories, those which Salinger wishes to preserve are collected in Nine Stories 1953 .
Edad recomendada: Adultos jóvenes.
SALINGER JEROME DAVID
J.D Salinger nació en Nueva York el 1 de Enero de 1919. Escritor americano, es conocido en todo el mundo por ser el autor de la novela El guardián en el centeno 1951 , obra considerada como un clásico de la literatura contemporánea americana y que ha conseguido cierta triste fama por ser el favorito de varios asesinos en serie.
De caracter solitario, Salinger no tuvouna larga trayectoria literaria, apenas continuada por la aparición de Nueve Cuentos 1953 y Franny y Zooey 1961 . Tras la popularidad alcanzada como escritor decidió alejarse del mundo de la literatura y los medios de comunicación abandonando Nueva York y estableciéndose en un pueblecito de New Hampshire.
Desde entonces se rumorea que siguió escribiendo, que terminó varias novelas y cuentos, pero no consideró su publicación. Su retiro sólo se vio interrumpido para interponer demandas sobre la propiedad intelectual de sus cartas y por la aparición de una pretendida continuación de El guardián en el centeno, cuya publicación está pendiente de un veredicto judicial.
J.D Salinger murió en Cornish el 28 de enero de 2010.
