 J. D. SALINGER:

THE CATCHER IN THE RYE

Plot summary
The first-person narrative follows Holden Caulfield's experiences in New York City in the days
following his expulsion from Pencey Prep, a fictional college preparatory school in the fictional
city of Agerstown, Pennsylvania.

Holden shares encounters he has had with students and faculty of Pencey, whom he criticizes as
being superficial, or, as he would say, "phony". After being expelled from the school for poor
grades, Holden packs up and leaves the school in the middle of the night after an altercation with
his roommate. He takes a train to New York, but does not want to return to his family and
instead checks into the dilapidated Edmont Hotel. There, he spends an evening dancing with
three tourist girls and has a clumsy encounter with a prostitute; he refuses to do anything with
her and, after he tells her he just wants to talk, she becomes annoyed with him and leaves.
However, he still pays her for her time. She demands more money than was originally agreed
upon and when Holden refuses to pay he is beaten by her pimp, Maurice.

Holden spends a total of three days in the city, characterized largely by drunkenness and
loneliness. At one point he ends up at a museum, where he contrasts his life with the statues of
Eskimos on display. For as long as he can remember, the statues have been unchanging. These
concerns may have stemmed largely from the death of his brother, Allie. Eventually, he sneaks
into his parents' apartment while they are away in order to visit his younger sister, Phoebe, who
is nearly the only person with whom he seems to be able to communicate. Holden shares a
fantasy he has been thinking about (based on a mishearing of Robert Burns' Comin' Through the
Rye): he pictures himself as the sole guardian of numerous children running and playing in a
huge rye field on the edge of a cliff. His job is to catch the children if they wander close to the
brink; to be a "catcher in the rye". After leaving his parents' apartment, Holden then drops by to
see his old English teacher, Mr. Antolini, in the middle of the night, and is offered advice on life
and a place to sleep. During the speech on life, Mr. Antolini has a number of "highballs,"
referring to a cocktail served in a highball glass. Holden's comfort is upset when he wakes up in
the night to find Mr. Antolini patting his head in a way that he perceives as "flitty." There is
much speculation on whether Mr. Antolini was making a sexual advance on Holden, and it is left
up to the reader whether this is true. Holden leaves and spends his last afternoon wandering the
city. He later wonders if his interpretation of Mr. Antolini's actions was correct.

Holden intends to move out west; he relays these plans to his sister, who decides she wants to go
with him. He refuses to take her, and when she becomes upset with him, he tells her that he will
no longer go. Holden then takes Phoebe to the Central Park Zoo, where he watches with a
melancholic joy as she rides a carousel. At the close of the book, Holden decides not to mention
much about the present day, finding it inconsequential. He alludes to "getting sick" and living in
a mental hospital, and mentions that he'll be attending another school in September. Holden says
that he has found himself missing Stradlater and Ackley (his former classmates), and the others
—warning the reader that the same thing could happen to them.
Robert Burns(1759 – 1796): Coming Through The Rye

(modern translation)

O Jenny is all wet, poor body,

Jenny is seldom dry:
She draggled all her petticoats,
Coming through the rye!

Coming through the rye, poor body,

Coming through the rye,
She draggled all her petticoats,
Coming through the rye!

Should a body meet a body

Coming through the rye,
Should a body kiss a body,
Need a body cry?

Should a body meet a body

Coming through the glen,
Should a body kiss a body,
Need the world know?

Should a body meet a body

Coming through the grain,
Should a body kiss a body,
The thing is a body's own.

Quotations from The Catcher in the Rye

by J. D. Salinger, 1945
What I was really hanging around for, I was trying to feel some kind of a good-by.  I
mean I've left schools and places I didn't even know I was leaving them.  I hate that.  I
don't care if it's a sad good-by or a bad good-by, but when I leave a place I like to know
I'm leaving it.  If you don't, you feel even worse.  Chapter 1

I don't even know what I was running for - I guess I just felt like it.  Chapter 1

It was that kind of a crazy afternoon, terrifically cold, and no sun out or anything, and
you felt like you were disappearing every time you crossed a road.  Chapter 1

People always think something's all true.  Chapter 2

People never notice anything.  Chapter 2

I'm the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life.  It's awful.  If I'm on my way to the
store to buy a magazine, even, and somebody asks me where I'm going, I'm liable to say
I'm going to the opera.  It's terrible.  Chapter 3

When I really worry about something, I don't just fool around.  I even have to go to the
bathroom when I worry about something.  Only, I don't go.  I'm too worried to go.  I
don't want to interrupt my worrying to go.  Chapter 6

All morons hate it when you call them a moron.  Chapter 6

In my mind, I'm probably the biggest sex maniac you ever saw.  Chapter 9

Sex is something I really don't understand too hot.  You never know where the hell you
are.  I keep making up these sex rules for myself, and then I break them right away.  Last
year I made a rule that I was going to quit horsing around with girls that, deep down,
gave me a pain in the ass.  I broke it, though, the same week I made it - the same night,
as a matter of fact.  Chapter 9

I was half in love with her by the time we sat down.  That's the thing about girls.  Every
time they do something pretty, even if they're not much to look at, or even if they're sort
of stupid, you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you
are.  Girls.  Jesus Christ.  They can drive you crazy.  They really can.  Chapter 10

There isn't any night club in the world you can sit in for a long time unless you can at
least buy some liquor and get drunk.  Or unless you're with some girl that really knocks
you out.  Chapter 10

It's no fun to be yellow.  Maybe I'm not all yellow.  I don't know.  I think maybe I'm just
partly yellow and partly the type that doesn't give much of a damn if they lose their
gloves.  Chapter 13

I mean most girls are so dumb and all.  After you neck them for a while, you can really
watch them losing their brains.  You take a girl when she really gets passionate, she just
hasn't any brains.  Chapter 13

Goddam money.  It always ends up making you blue as hell.  Chapter 15

If a girl looks swell when she meets you, who gives a damn if she's late?  Nobody. 
Chapter 17

"Take most people, they're crazy about cars.  They worry if they get a little scratch on
them, and they're always talking about how many miles they get to a gallon, and if they
get a brand-new car already they start thinking about trading it in for one that's even
newer.  I don't even like old cars.  I mean they don't even interest me.  I'd rather have a
goddam horse.  A horse is at least human, for God's sake."  Chapter 17

Anyway, I'm sort of glad they've got the atomic bomb invented.  If there's ever another
war, I'm going to sit right the hell on top of it.  I'll volunteer for it, I swear to God I will. 
Chapter 18

Boy, when you're dead, they really fix you up.  I hope to hell when I do die somebody has
sense enough to just dump me in the river or something.  Anything except sticking me in
a goddam cemetery.  People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on
Sunday, and all that crap.  Who wants flowers when you're dead?  Nobody.  Chapter 20

It's funny.  All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do
practically anything you want them to.  Chapter 21

Holden:  "You know that song, 'If a body catch a body comin' through the rye'?..."
Phoebe:  "It's 'If a body meet a body coming through the rye'!... It's a poem. By Robert
Burns." Chapter 22

"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye
and all.  Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except
me.  And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff.  What I have to do, I have to catch
everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look
where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them.  That's all I do
all day.  I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all.  I know it's crazy, but that's the only
thing I'd really like to be." Chapter 22

"Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused
and frightened and even sickened by human behavior.  You're by no means alone on
that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know.  Many, many men have been just as
troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now.  Happily, some of them kept
records of their troubles.  You'll learn from them - if you want to.  Just as someday, if
you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you.  It's a beautiful
reciprocal arrangement.  And it isn't education.  It's history.  It's poetry." Chapter 24,
spoken by the character Mr. Antolini

Don't ever tell anybody anything.  If you do, you start missing everybody. Chapter 26
