Steed, J. P. (ed.): The Catcher in the Rye. New Essays. New York, Bern, Berlin, Bruxelles, Frankfurt/M., Oxford, Wien Peter Lang Vlg. 2002. ISBN: 978-0-8204-5729-1
J. D. Salinger's novel, The Catcher in the Rye celebrated its fiftieth anniversary of publication in 2001. The Catcher in the Rye: New Essays presents a variety of new approaches to this extremely popular and intensely influential novel, ranging from the examination of the intertextual relationship between The Catcher in the Rye and Cormac McCarthy's All the Pretty Horses, to the evaluation of Salinger's mythic place in American film and popular culture, to the interrogation of what it means for a reader to claim that a novel such as The Catcher in the Rye has changed his or her life. These essays provide new commentary and new insights, and demonstrate the continuing relevance of Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, and Holden Caulfield to American culture and literature and, in turn, to American cultural and literary studies.

It struck a popular note, particularly with young readers, who strongly identified with Holden Caulfield and his yearning for lost innocence... Salinger's novel was, and continues to be, a phenomenal success" (Parker, 300). "This novel is a key-work of the nineteen-fifties in that the theme of youthful rebellion is first adumbrated in it, though the hero, Holden Caulfield, is more a gentle voice of protest, unprevailing in the noise, than a militant world-changer. The Catcher in the Rye was a symptom of a need, after a ghastly war and during a ghastly pseudo-peace, for the young to raise a voice of protest against the failures of the adult world. The young used many voices-anger, contempt, self-pity-but the quietest, that of a decent perplexed American adolescent, proved the most telling" (Anthony Burgess, 99 Novels , 53-4).

Alther, Lisa: Kinflicks, Signet March 1977 ISBN: 0451073908
,,In her first novel, Alther traces the troubled, funny, heartbreaking coming of age of Ginny Babcock Bliss\nduring the l950s and '60s. The daughter of one of the first families in Hullsport, Tennessee, \nGinny bounces from one identity to another, adopting the values, politics, lifestyle, even sexual orientation of each new partner. In Kinflicks, Alther reels through the ups and downs of Ginny's life by dividing her narrative into two sequences: Ginny herself narrates the adventures of her past while a third-person narrator takes over to describe her present, when she returns to Hullsport as an adult to care for her dying mother. Mary Cantwell, writing in The New York Times Book Review, called Kinflicks"an almost flawless balance of light and dark, the skittery and the sad." "Ginny is the classic outsider," noted the Saturday Review in a rave review of the book, "and her fine sense of the comic permits the novel to approach a kind of high seriousness...A best-seller? Sure. In the august company of The Catcher in the Rye, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Huck? Yes, indeed."

J. D. Salinger: The Catcher in the Rye, Back Bay Books ; weicher Einband / soft cover ISBN: 0316769177
PAPERBACK New 0316769177 Editorial Reviews\n\nAmazon Review\nSince his debut in 1951 as The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield has been synonymous with cynical adolescent. Holden narrates the story of a couple of days in his sixteen-year-old life, just after he's been expelled from prep school, in a slang that sounds edgy even today and keeps this novel on banned book lists. It begins,\n\nIf 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. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them.\n\nHis constant wry observations about what he encounters, from teachers to phonies (the two of course are not mutually exclusive) capture the essence of the eternal teenage experience of alienation. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.\n\nReview\nNovel by J.D. Salinger, published in 1951. The influential and widely acclaimed story details the two days in the life of 16-year-old Holden Caulfield after he has been expelled from prep school. Confused and disillusioned, he searches for truth and rails against the phoniness of the adult world. He ends up exhausted and emotionally ill, in a psychiatrist's office. After he recovers from his breakdown, Holden relates his experiences to the reader. --none --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
