Learning from ‘Catcher in the Rye,’ 75 years later

In brief

Tom Hoopes reflects on the 75th anniversary of the publication of the novel Catcher in the Rye.

Writing for Aleteia, Hoopes notes that while the book is enormously influential, it carries a well earned reputation for profanity. He shares that he read the novel for the first time this year but does not exactly recommend it.
