About this work & edition details

Sixteen-year-old Holden Caulfield leaves his Pennsylvania boarding school and spends three days moving through New York City. His distinctive narration shifts between sharp observation, contradiction, grief, humor, and a fierce desire to protect what he sees as innocent. The novel follows his encounters with classmates, strangers, former teachers, and family as he struggles against adult expectations and searches for an honest connection.
