The Catcher in the Rye
内容简介:

Anyone who has read J. D. Salinger's New Yorker stories - particularly A Perfect Day for Bananafish, Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut, The Laughing Man, and For Esme - With Love and Squalor, will not be surprised by the fact that his first novel is full of children. The hero-narrator of The Catcher in the Rye is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caulfield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days. The boy himself is at once too simple and too complex for us to make any final comment about him or his story. Perhaps the safest thing we can say about Holden is that he was born in the world not just strongly attracted to beauty but, almost, hopelessly impaled on it. There are many voices in this novel: children's voices, adult voices, underground voices-but Holden's voice is the most eloquent of all. Transcending his own vernacular, yet remaining marvelously faithful to it, he issues a perfectly articulated cry of mixed pain and pleasure. However, like most lovers and clowns and poets of the higher orders, he keeps most of the pain to, and for, himself. The pleasure he gives away, or sets aside, with all his heart. It is there for the reader who can handle it to keep.

Salinger's classic coming-of-age story portrays one young man's funny and poignant experiences with life, love, and sex.


Jerome David Salinger (January 1, 1919 – January 27, 2010) was an American author, best known for his 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye, as well as his reclusive nature. His last original published work was in 1965; he gave his last interview in 1980.

Raised in Manhattan, Salinger began writing short stories while in secondary school, and published several stories in the early ...

    存在主义小说和哲学文献混着读。上一次读还是小学时侯,只觉得这人怎么搞的满篇脏话,对什么都抱怨。这一次,看到了天真,善良,和因为这种脆弱的天真和善良而产生的虚无感。想起看到的一句话,“天真和善良若没有自我的成熟做保护,则很容易被摧残。”

    想擦掉墙上的"Fuck you"却发现它无处不在。塞林格每一次写小孩子的时候,就好像他自己站到悬崖边当起了麦田捕手。

    我实在搞不清楚就这样一本只有一个漂亮名字的脏话,废话,蠢话,无聊话集合到底有什么魅力让那么多人都说他好。我觉得我在看它就是浪费时间。一个笨蛋少年的琐碎事竟值得那么多人为之欢欣。难道是我太过庸俗了。看不出这是本难得的奇珍?还是其他人都在装B,因为它是名著于是争相捧之。读英文书看外国电影对我来说都多多少少有些别扭。那些说话方式,语法,以及一些他们拼命想表达我却没办法理解的言语都成了我不能特别钟爱他们的原因。但不能否认的是。很多东西还是很好的。前半部分我基本上是本着尊重作者的原则坚持下来的,但好在后半部分让我看到了这本书的一点价值。和我有了点小共鸣。对于现代社会一些虚伪做作的“假”行为看不惯,但却不得不予以顺应。但作者又有些太过偏执了,书中有一个他最喜欢的一个小女孩问他:“他在这世上是否有真正喜欢什么东西?”他答了半天也都是些没谱的事儿,实际上在这世上的任何事他都看不惯,所以才想去做那不会与人接触的麦田守望者,我也是不想过多的去接触社会才选择虚拟的营生,自然我的父母也是百般的看不惯,毕竟现在这行也不吃香,但我想或许我也就这点特别在行了。只能努力去做一下了,为了让他们能够哑口无言,我必须努力去做。就这样而已。但结论是我仍旧不那么喜欢这破书。别人怎么喜欢我不管,但我就是不喜欢。即便我的这篇短评的说话口气像极了作者。
