The Catcher in the Rye is a masterpiece, a work of genius that continues to have power and influence, which is why it has often been banned, on a par with Mark Twain, Lewis Carroll and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
I first read it fifty years ago and I am still in love with Phoebe.
It has told generations of teenagers that you are not alone. Unfortunately one or two disturbed individuals were inspired to commit evil, which Holden would never have done, but far less than some readers of the major religious and political texts.
Of course a middle-aged critic will find Holden irritating, just as an extended period of time in the company of a teeager is often prone to do.
I still reread the Nine Stories and wish that the Glass family saga had continued.
