The Catcher in ... whatever

…We’ll be right back after these messages…

Holden Caulfield is a young man on the brink. He is on the line this time. His entire way of life as a spoilt boarding-school kid is in danger. All he has to do is pick up the fencing foils before getting off the train.

STUNNED by another failure, Caulfield must face mild retribution!

INDIFFERENT to absolutely everything, he jumps down a slippery slope that ends in near-certain apathy!

HATING EVERYTHING, Caulfield must embark on a daring mission to pop home for a bit and talk to his sister!

SABOTAGE follows him as he fails time after time to make contact with anybody!

BE AMAZED at how little you care for the protagonist!

BE ASTONISHED at how long it takes to go nowhere!

BE GOBSMACKED at how this ever got published!

BE STUNNED at a book with no semblance of plot!

BE INJURED by the eye-scratching vernacular!

Yes, it’s J. D. Salinger’s “Catcher in the Rye”. As one reviewer said, “That’s eight hours of my life I’m not getting back.”
