002: Beholden to Holden




Re:Read show

Summary: In this episode we almost have a legitimate fight about the legitimacy of Catcher in the Rye in the American canon, tackle a near-medical emergency, and accost an imaginary J.D. Salinger in a grocery store.  One of the big questions we ponder in this episode is: how autobiographical is J.D. Salinger’s only full-length novel? If so, what are we to make of Holden Caulfield? And is is ever appropriate to name a kid after him? These, and other searing Catcher in the Rye questions, are on tap in Re:Read Episode 002.  To reread with us, grab a copy of The Catcher in the Rye at your local bookstore or neighborhood library, or download it from your favorite digital book space.
