(Anonymous) 2011-12-25 09:17 am (UTC)(link)As for myself, I really should give it another try one of these days. The one and only time I read it, I was barely out of my teens, and I couldn't stand Holden ranting against all the "phonies." I just wanted to scream at him that yes, people are fatally flawed and terrified of their weaknesses and put up fronts to hide them, but that doesn't mean there's actually this group of "genuine" people who are automatically so much better than everyone else. That perceived "phony/genuine" divide is at the core of so much douchey hipsterism that I hated how I thought that book promoted it.
Now that I'm older, I may very well feel a lot more charitable towards Holden. Perhaps he was just too emotionally immature and too traumatized to have learned that lesson yet.
