📝 Description
The Catcher in the Rye is a classic novel by J.D. Salinger, first published in 1951. It follows the story of Holden Caulfield, a cynical teenager navigating the 'phoniness' of adult society in New York City. The book is famous for its themes of teenage angst and alienation. It gained notoriety in real-world history after Mark David Chapman cited it as an inspiration following his assassination of John Lennon in 1980.
