>people saying his brother was murdered and he fucked his sister

Holy shit this like a whole 'nother level of edge. Is this how grad students in liberal arts actually think?

Pro-tip: Jerk off when you start thinking about rape and murder...this is what I do and it clears all that bullshit out of my mind.

The book is about a young guy dealing with his little brother's untimely death, and worrying about his sister because of this, and trying to find his place in the world (searching for identity) while also trying to get some pussy. That is all. If you want proof, lurk /r9k/ for a week or two. Not everything is sinister and edgy as fuck.

Also, true story:

>go to shitty non-flagship state-school
>two whores walking in front of me
>talking about how shitty catcher in the rye is
