The Catcher in the Rye
J.D. Salinger
Narrated by the disaffected teenager Holden Caulfield after his expulsion from prep school, the novel chronicles his aimless wandering through New York City over several days. Holden's voice captures adolescent alienation, phoniness in the adult world, and the pain of growing up.
