I read some of this last week. It felt like Rushmore (1998) the novel.

Catcher in the Rye is bretty good though. His other works are generally better.

Even the meme master recognized Salinger's talent.

>Salinger, J. D. By far one of the finest artists in recent years. "A Perfect Day for Bananafish." A great story. A particular favorite.
