Yeah, I didnt care for it. Ivthought Holden was a brat. I just figure its an easy book for people who don't read much and it reminds people of adolescence.

Because it's the kind of fake deep that's really good at convincing plebs it's deep. Salinger is the ultimate writer stereotype: depressed, reclusive, etc. True of his work and his own biography. This is a great way to convince people that you're a good writer: just be so writer-y that people trick themselves into liking you.

wew lad.

The guy wrote stories about a spiritually hollow postwar america.
Readers like you are falling into the exact spiteful stance his work critiques.

It's really amazing how little emotional integrity his critics have.
