The Catcher in the Rye

D. Salinger’s “brilliant, funny, meaningful novel” (The New Yorker) established the author as a leading voice in American literature.

“If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.”

The hero-narrator of The Catcher in the Rye is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caulfield, who leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days. Read the book that has instilled in millions of readers around the world a lifelong love of books in a handy compact edition featuring artwork from the original cover.

The Big Apple Book Ballot, presented by The New York Public Library and Gothamist, officially announced that The Catcher in the Rye reigns supreme over the Big Apple. For more information about the announcement, click HERE.
