JD Salinger’s novel gained huge notorierty when it was banned in America following its first publication. The book tells the story of a teenager in 1950’s New York, Holden Caulfield, who has been expelled from school once again. In an attempt to deal with this he goes to New York to take a vacation before returning home to face his parents inevitable wrath. The book describes Holden’s activities and thoughts over this vacation, during which he describes a developing nervous breakdown, bouts of depression, impulsive spending and generally odd, erratic behavoir, culminating in his eventual nervous collapse. During his psychological battle life carries on around Holden as normal, with the majority of people ignoring Holden’s gradual decline into insanity – until it begins to encroach on their well defined social codes. Througout the novel the question is subtly put forward to the reader to examine the way society seems to ignore the plight of Holden, and he begins to question himself as the ignorant and empty one rather than his previous stance that the world was full of “phonies.” Is society to blame? The book qustions the world in which we inhabit, and the selfish and self-absorbed society within it.
