The Catcher in the Rye/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Fridge Brilliance

  • I took two readings of The Catcher in The Rye to understand the whole point of it. At first, I thought all that went on was Holden saying "sonuvabitch" and whining about phonies. Only upon reading it again that I learned that it was a tale of Holden stuck between childhood and adulthood. --Ray Ayanami
    • Another popular theme is that Holden suffers from PTSD from his brother's death, and the end is him finally realizing he needs help
