About this title

Synopsis

Book by Engel, Steven

Reviews

Gr. 7^-12. Few protagonists have polarized critics as much as idealistic, profane, disillusioned Holden Caulfield. In this Literary Companion to American Literature volume, deftly chosen essays present strong arguments that are sure to enhance research and ignite class discussions. Wisely, the editor begins by compiling the spurious details of Salinger's life into a cautiously presented biography, always qualifying details either disputed or deliberately obscured by the reclusive Salinger. The four subsequent critical sections build in conviction and passion. "Themes" covers familiar symbolism, structure, and cult status of the novel. More divergent views follow in "Influences," then are set ablaze in "The Character of Holden Caulfield." Jesuit teachers, feminists, linguists, and literary purists all offer fiery arguments for and against young Holden. As an appropriate climax to the debates on the novel's merit, the final section expresses opposite views, first praising the book's genuine voice, then chastising the falseness of a novel whose very theme decries phoniness. In every essay, impassioned writing abounds. Chronology; bibliography; list of Salinger's works. Roger Leslie
