Did Mr. Salinger, uh, you know, LEAVE anything for us–
Since I heard word of J. D. Salinger’s death, I’ve been waiting to hear whether he left behind a heap of unpublished manuscripts. The fantasy is that, all these years when he was refusing to publish anything, he was writing up a storm. It’s not CATCHER I cherish but the Glass family saga of the stories.

Salinger, sex and scruples | Theo Hobson
Salinger’s cult novel isn’t really about rebellion against adults, but rebellion against the spirit of our ageJ.D. Salinger’s cult novel The Catcher in the Rye is about being a teenager, isn’t it– Its narrator, seventeen-year-old Holden Caulfield, is the prototype of the teenage rebel, the bolshie misfit, full of self-indulgent angst, and contempt for the “phoney” adult world: he’s every-teen, isn’t he– As I see it, this is a lazy orthodoxy. It implies that his disaffection is general, unfocused, the common denominator of all adolescent angst. It also nudges him into line with sixties-style rebellion, centred on sexual liberation.The “every-teen” image obscures the fact that Holden’s crisis is rooted in a specific anxiety, one that is not normally seen as central to the adolescent psyche. His anxiety is that sex is a threat to authenticity. This is what animates the book, and I think explains its uniqueness.What causes Holden to run away from his boarding-school is a sexual crisis.
