Jerome David Salinger (/ˈsælɪndʒər/; January 1, 1919 – January 27, 2010) was an American writer known for his widely-read novel The Catcher in the Rye. Following his early success publishing short stories and The Catcher in the Rye, Salinger led a very private life for more than a half-century. He published his final original work in 1965 and gave his last interview in 1980.
Salinger was raised in Manhattan and began writing short stories while in secondary school. Several were published in Story magazine[1] in the early 1940s before he began serving in World War II. In 1948, his critically acclaimed story "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" appeared in The New Yorker magazine, which became home to much of his later work. The Catcher in the Rye was published in 1951 and became an immediate popular success. His depiction of adolescent alienation and loss of innocence in the protagonist Holden Caulfield was influential, especially among adolescent readers.[2] The novel remains widely read and controversial,[a] selling around 250,000 copies a year.
The success of The Catcher in the Rye led to public attention and scrutiny. Salinger became reclusive, publishing new work less frequently. He followed Catcher with a short story collection, Nine Stories (1953); a volume containing a novella and a short story, Franny and Zooey (1961); and a volume containing two novellas, Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction (1963). His last published work, a novella entitled "Hapworth 16, 1924", appeared in The New Yorker on June 19, 1965. Afterward, Salinger struggled with unwanted attention, including a legal battle in the 1980s with biographer Ian Hamilton and the release in the late 1990s of memoirs written by two people close to him: Joyce Maynard, an ex-lover; and Margaret Salinger, his daughter. In 1996, a small publisher announced a deal with Salinger to publish "Hapworth 16, 1924" in book form, but amid the ensuing publicity the release was indefinitely delayed.[3][4] He made headlines around the globe in June 2009 when he filed a lawsuit against another writer for copyright infringement resulting from that writer's use of one of the characters from The Catcher in the Rye.[5]
Salinger died of natural causes on January 27, 2010, at his home in Cornish, New Hampshire.[6][7][8] In November 2013, three unpublished stories by Salinger were briefly posted online. One of the stories, "The Ocean Full of Bowling Balls", is said to be a prequel to The Catcher in the Rye.
J. D. Salinger wrote one of the most famous books ever written, The Catcher in the Rye. Salinger wrote many stories and, in 1941, after several rejections, Salinger finally cracked The New Yorker, with a story, "Slight Rebellion Off Madison," that was an early sketch of what became a scene in "The Catcher in the Rye." The magazine then had second thoughts in part because of World War II in which Salinger was in combat, and held the story for five years before finally publishing it in 1946, buried in the back of an issue. Everyone was surprised when the story and the book that followed it became a bit hit. Even today nobody can really explain why Catcher in the Rye is so famous and so popular. Yet, millions have been sold and are still being sold even though only available as used books nowadays. When The Catcher in the Rye was published in 1951, it was registered for copyright as "additional material." This obviously referred to the earlier work "Slight Rebellion Off Madison." The copyright page on "The Catcher in the Rye" states "Copyright 1945, 1946, 1951 by J. D Salinger." The date of 1945 obviously refers to the publication of "I'm Crazy," a short story written by Salinger and published in the December 22, 1945 issue of Collier's magazine that first introduced the character Holden Caulfield to the reading public. Salinger later reworked this short story to incorporate it into The Catcher in the Rye. The two earlier stories are "I'm Crazy," an early version of Holden's departure from prep school that later shows up in The Catcher in the Rye. With minor alteration, much of this story is familiar to readers as the chapter where Holden visits Mr. Spencer. What sets this story apart is the presence of an additional Caulfield sister and the clarity of Holden's resignation and compromise at the end. "Slight Rebellion off Madison" is an early version of another scene in The Catcher in the Rye. The story follows Holden when he is home from Pency and goes to the movies, then skating with Sally Hayes, followed by his drunken calls to her apartment late at night. An early story, it is the first of Salinger's Caulfied works to be accepted for publication.
《麦田里的守望者》带给读者绵延的感受—— 在时间绵延中,霍尔顿的感知与行动从未中断。他的意念在持续扩散、弥漫。 如果霍尔顿不睡觉,世界就是敞开的。 漫游的老霍尔顿不疲倦。 一半力量来自思考,另一半来自“性”,思考与性,两个要素让霍尔顿像个小炉子,一直烧着。 被揍...
评分霍尔顿如果不是个少年,而是个中老年人,那他可真烦人。《麦田守望者》里的这位主人公,看什么都不顺眼。他讨厌学校,讨厌同学,讨厌父母。他甚至讨厌那些喜欢说“祝你好运”的人,以及那些说“很高兴认识你”的人,以及在钢琴演奏中瞎鼓掌的人。他当然还讨厌数学物理地理历史...
评分我17岁的时候看的这本书,那时自己还是个青少年,觉得和周围的世界隔着一道鸿沟,是霍尔顿的游荡让我找到了精神上发泄愤怒的出口,为那些难以捉摸的情绪找到了具体的依附。如今纯真已逝,才猛然惊醒,原来塞林格他真正要说的东西不在这里。 还记得施咸荣的译序写道,这本小说...

评分作者前言:因为是作业,所以按初中语文风格写作的书评。惭愧地谨以此中规中矩CCAV版的旧文纪念已故文学大师塞林格。 全文如下: 在纽约寒冷的冬天里只穿一件风衣,倒戴着火红的鸭舌帽,漫无目的地在街头游走——个十六岁少年的形象在我们的脑海里栩栩如生。这就是《麦田...
黑色幽默,好几次让我打心底地笑个不停。愤世嫉俗,叛逆,孤独感,觉得自己要的其实很简单但没人能够给——我们心里永远都住着这样的一个16岁少年。
评分果然是英国专属版本
评分我就在那里守望,如果有孩子冲到悬崖边,我就会把他紧紧的抱住,放回到麦田里,以防他受到伤害。Holden真的是个很感性的人,看看他对phoebe的感情吧。他看到学校门口写着“fuck”一定要用手抹去,不忍心其他孩子看到这般污秽的词语。当他自己想远走他乡的时候,phoebe出现了,收拾好了自己的行李。但是holden明白,自己已经站在悬崖边了,phoebe还有自己的生活。所以每当他看到孩子的时候,心就软了,又会情不自禁的帮助他们。他究竟是善?还是恶?不,他只不过是个麦田里的守望者。
评分和“麦田”没半毛钱关系。有人把《钟形罩》形容为女性版《麦田里的守望者》,其实读这两本书的感觉是大大不同的。最主要的一点区别,前一部越读越绝望,而这一部读到最后却读出了希望。几乎每个人都经历过Holden这个阶段吧,至少我有,希望我们都能像文末在雨中的Holden一样能够豁然开朗。
评分Big fan of Salinger & his bananafish & his Holden.
