They are world weary and bored. And sad, too. And bored. One of the stories features a couple of young women getting drunk one afternoon. The usual child is there of course. One of the women is really mean to her (black) cook, but we are supposed to understand that she is suffering from an unrequited love affair. If you are a depressed teenager who wants to be an intellectual, then Salinger was just the ticket!

The first, *"Bananafish...", stars Seymour, whose memory is a constant reference in other stories, on his honeymoon, post war, I guess he is suffering. So, after an affecting scene with a little girl (little girls all innocence and lovely tend to recur in Salinger stories), Seymour goes up to the hotel bedroom. His new wife (who is shown as being insensitive) is sleeping. Seymour takes his gun and blows his head off. Nice.

I had to read it in school because we had to read it for end of year exams. Otherwise I would not have gone past the first few pages. I read other better books that year that were more to my taste in books. By the age of 17 I was very widely read, and the books I read included 1984, and even things like Lady Chatterly's Lover (not sure I finished that one) as well as Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd (another school book), A Separate Peace, To Kill a Mockingbird and many, many other books. All of them were better than Catcher in the Rye. might be worth speaking to your parents about whether or not their minds were blown by this book.

In fact I still hate Catcher in the Rye. does it help to know that this 55 year old woman had to read the book at the age of 17 and hated it? In fact I still hate Catcher in the Rye.
