This site is supposed to be what Holden Caulfield's homepage would be like if he made one. The text and sites reflect Holden's pessimistic opinion about everything. It's very amusing.

Bruni, Domenic. "J. D. Salinger." Critical Survey of Long Fiction, English

Language Series. Ed. Frank N. Magill. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Salem

Press, 1976.

This article begins by giving biographical information about Salinger, and follows it by an analysis of his writing style, and how his Buddhist beliefs affect it. The analysis of Catcher begins with a summary, and then describes Holden. Bruni compares Holden to Huck Finn and Christ. He also discusses Holden's actions, and what they symbolize. The analysis is not chronological to the story though. Bruni grouped by action, not by where it fell in the story. Bruni discusses Holden's lies, his new position at the end of the novel, his acceptance of "Christ's ultimate commandment," the title symbol of the novel, Holden's preoccupation with death, his sex life, and his artistic sensibility.
