Це Christmas time 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 bull with strangers in dive hotels, wandering alone round Central Park, get beaten up by pimps і cut down by erstwhile girlfriends. Місто є приємним і тероризмом, у всіх його незмінних лонільності і синього glamour, його mingled sense of possibility and emptiness. Holden passes through it like a ghost, thinking always of his kid sister Phoebe, the only persona who really understands him, and his determination to escape the phonies and find a life of true meaning.

Catcher в Rye є все одно класичним в coming-of-age literature: elegy до teenage alienation, capturing the deeply human need for connection and bewildering sense loss as we leave childhood behind.
