Everything really is about you.
>>41523306A good normie filter is if they complain about Holden being whiney or "emo". The book is about waking up to realizing the world is just lies on top of lies meant to kill the inner child before you figure out what to do with that knowledge.

>>41523306>The Catcher in the Rye (1951), by J.D. Salinger, follows Holden Caulfield, a disaffected 16-year-old who has just been expelled from his prep school, Pencey Prep. Instead of going home to face his parents, he leaves school early and spends several days wandering New York City. >Holden struggles with intense loneliness, depression, and a growing disgust with what he sees as adult “phoniness.” Over the course of his wandering, he encounters former teachers, nuns, tourists, old girlfriends, and strangers, all of which deepen his sense of alienation. >He’s most at peace when thinking about or interacting with children, especially his younger sister Phoebe, whose innocence he deeply values. He fantasizes about being “the catcher in the rye,” someone who stands in a rye field and catches children before they fall over a cliff — a metaphor for protecting childhood innocence from the corruption of adulthood. >The book ends with Holden in some kind of rest home or mental health facility, recovering. He hints that he may return to school, but the future is uncertain. This is mandatory reading in American high schools? Sounds like such a slog.

>>41525654This is the only thing that makes sense. What a gay book. Utterly soulless.
>>41525654>>41525838Bump. Golly I was waiting for someone else to point it out and didn't even notice when they did. It's veiled Narnia-style.>This "catcher in the rye" is an analogy for Holden, who admires in children attributes that he often struggles to find in adults...
You're all a bunch of phonies.
