Yeah. It’s easier to see your teenage self in Holden from a distance buts it’s uncomfortable for many if they just left Holden’s age. I still feel like a lot of young teenagers relate to Holden but don’t find him cringey yet. It’s only when they get some self awareness

Yeah. I think a lot of people can relate to Holden from a certain age on as far as disillusionment with the world goes. The way he handled things I think hits too close to home for some people. I’m also surprised he isn’t mentioned more frequently when unreliable narrators are brought up. I always saw the Holden/teacher interaction as an overreaction on his part. Like the teacher was trying to comfort him, maybe a little too touchy, but with no ulterior motives, and it played into Holden’s disillusionment and how he colored the whole thing. But again maybe the teacher was a pervert and it’s the theme of loss of innocence. I should reread it soon. It’s been a while and Salinger is a writer where you can always pull more from each time

>> No.21594945

>>21594929
The point of the teacher was really obvious to me. A well-meaning adult who wants you to improve, but who has zero idea what you're going through so you merely smile and nod, say "Yes sir" and then leave.

Real life situations of inner turmoil and alienation are usually like that. You want someone to save you, but as soon as the conversation actually happens, you realize you and them are a million miles apart mentally and it's hopeless

The bible
Probably some other religious texts from cultures I’m unfamiliar with
There really aren’t many books on this kind of distribution because shitwits mostly do not read anything. Therefore the only things likely to be here are actually well written children’s books like TWITW and religious texts which appeal to retards out of promises or fear, and appeal to the intelligent as works deeply connected with the divine
Only other things would be Shakespeare and Cervantes but they appealed to the retards and intelligences of their time, today the majority of their celebrants are midwits

If you are alluding to Dostoevsky’s worst novels, then, indeed, I dislike intensely The Brothers Karamazov and the ghastly Crime and Punishment rigamarole. No, I do not object to soul-searching and self-revelation, but in those books the soul, and the sins, and the sentimentality, and the journalese, hardly warrant the tedious and muddled search. Dostoyevsky’s lack of taste, his monotonous dealings with persons suffering with pre-Freudian complexes, the way he has of wallowing in the tragic misadventures of human dignity – all this is difficult to admire. I do not like this trick his characters have of ”sinning their way to Jesus” or, as a Russian author, Ivan Bunin, put it more bluntly, ”spilling Jesus all over the place."Crime and Punishment’s plot did not seem as incredibly banal in 1866 when the book was written as it does now when noble prostitutes are apt to be received a little cynically by experienced readers. Dostoyevsky never really got over the influence which the European mystery novel and the sentimental novel made upon him. The sentimental influence implied that kind of conflict he liked—placing virtuous people in pathetic situations and then extracting from these situations the last ounce of pathos. Non-Russian readers do not realize two things: that not all Russians love Dostoevsky as much as Americans do, and that most of those Russians who do, venerate him as a mystic and not as an artist. He was a prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. I admit that some of his scenes, some of his tremendous farcical rows are extraordinarily amusing. But his sensitive murderers and soulful prostitutes are not to be endured for one moment—by this reader anyway. Dostoyevsky seems to have been chosen by the destiny of Russian letters to become Russia’s greatest playwright, but he took the wrong turning and wrote novels.
