内容简介

"The Catcher in Rye" is the ultimate novel for disaffected youth, but it's relevant to all ages. The story is told by Holden Caulfield, a seventeen- year-old dropout who has just been kicked out of his fourth school. Throughout, Holden dissects the 'phony' aspects of society, and the 'phonies' themselves: the headmaster whose affability depends on the wealth of the parents, his roommate who scores with girls using sickly-sweet affection. Lazy in style, full of slang and swear words, it's a novel whose interest and appeal comes from its observations rather than its plot intrigues (in conventional terms, there is hardly any plot at all). Salinger's style creates an effect of conversation, it is as though Holden is speaking to you personally, as though you too have seen through the pretences of the American Dream and are growing up unable to see the point of living in, or contributing to, the society around you. Written with the clarity of a boy leaving childhood, it deals with society, love, loss, and expectations without ever falling into the clutch of a cliche.

    词汇量特别少的读物,估计初高中生都可以读懂,研一才读,汗颜啊。意识流,开始略不适应,感觉不可靠叙事,主观色彩太强,东拉西扯,愤世嫉俗,用old Phoebe的话来说,you never liked anything。但特别真实,那个年龄段的孩子不就是这个心态吗?想了解一切,想装成熟,感觉没有人真正了解自己,不喜欢学习,骨子里的叛逆蠢蠢欲动,加上主人公敏感的内心,一直莫名其妙就会sad and depressed,唯一一次开心是在倒数第二章末尾突如其来的暴雨中,看到妹妹在旋转木马上的样子,情难自禁地想大哭,内心却十分快乐。略搞笑的是他招妓却想谈心,最后还被多讹了5刀。最惊悚的是以为老师是良师,晚上在他睡觉的时候却拿手摸他的头。这本书属于开始不喜欢看,但越看越喜欢,跟boyhood有异曲同工之妙05-08

    不仅看到颓废的表象,也可以看到颓废的根源,垮掉的一代是源于战争及动荡,更现实的原因就是理想和现实的脱节。所以很多人渴望着平静和超脱,如果说霍尔顿渴望成为麦田里的守望者,我也不过是希望能够做一个书店里的小老板罢了。01-06

    不知道为什么读完的一瞬间突然伤心起来。还有the catcher in the rye终于出现的时候也觉得难过。这个才是在学校的时候该有的课外读物嘛06-18

    二刷后更喜欢了,有时觉得自己就是Holden,既愤世嫉俗,又无力改变,最后只能轻叹几句抱怨08-26

    高二上学期的寒假,英语老师说要么写一沓作业,要么读一本英文书。我永远感谢我的英语老师和我自己的“偷懒”,她“成功地离间了我对翻译家的信任”。看了原著才真的读懂,Holden在讨厌什么,他又正在成为什么。05-31
