SUMMARY:Tovah's Books and Bites: The Catcher in the Rye
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the 75th anniversary of the 1951 publication of JD Salinger’s classic The Catcher in the Rye. Whether you have read it recently\, read it with your children or haven’t read it since you were in school\, join our discussion – in person or via Zoom – about this iconic book. There’s always more to learn from this coming of age tale and one of the Great American Novels. \nLet’s revisit the novel we read in high school through an adult lens. The story follows 16-year-old Holden Caulfield\, who\, after being expelled from his prep school\, wanders New York City over a weekend\, struggling with grief\, alienation\, and a deep fear of the adult world. \nHow does the novel affect you now that you are an adult? How is your response different from what you remember in high school? Come ready to discuss!
