“Catcher in the Rye”: The “Sequel”
The last we saw of Holden Caulfield, he was in a mental hospital in California, reminiscing about the days he spent roaming New York City, watching his sister Phoebe ride a carousel. Now, the Guardian reports that the much-loved teenage misanthrope, created by J.D. Salinger (pictured), is back, thanks to an unauthorized sequel to “The Catcher in the Rye,” which sees a 76-year-old “Mr C” flee a nursing home to journey again through the streets of New York. I hope Salinger sues!
