This volume contains twelve essays from leading critics on the character of Holden Caulfield, the memorable narrator of The Catcher in the Rye . It opens with a brief introduction by Harold Bloom (Yale U.) and concludes with a bibliography and index. Sample topics include comparison with other alienated literary characters in rebellion (e.g. Ernest Pontifex, Stephen Daedalus, Huck Finn), the psychological dimensions of the character and plot, and Holden as an expression of American romanticism and protest. As one essayist here documents, Holden had been the subject of "344 essays and reviews, 21 books, 142 references..., and 14 dissertations" by 1981 just in the United States. Now more than twenty years later "the Salinger industry" continues to intrigue and flourish. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
