Synopsis
The "brilliant, funny, meaningful novel" (The New Yorker) that established J. D. Salinger as a leading voice in American literature--and that has instilled in millions of readers around the world a lifelong love of books.
"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth."
The hero-narrator of The Catcher in the Rye is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caufield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Included. The ISBN# lookup says this one was published 1951, but No Way. It feels and smells 1970s-ish. Little Brown was very obtuse about their stated edition facts for Catcher. It's well known that the publisher continued to issue stated first edition hardcovers through at least their 32nd printing. THIS ONE is stated "forty-first printing" with some title loss on the DJ spine head where a sticker was pulled off. Otherwise a solid and sound copy. Just a decent reading copy needing a new home. The stock image is accurate enough. Seller Inventory # ABE-1780314443341
