 Critical Essay by Carl F. Strauch
5,676 words, approx. 19 pages
[In The Catcher in the Rye,] Salinger sharply accentuates the portrayal of Holden with a symbolic structure of language, motif, episode, and character; and when the complex patterns are discovered, the effect is to concentrate our scrutiny on a masterpiece that moves effortlessly on the colloquial surface and at the same time uncovers, with hypnotic compulsion, a psychological drama of unrelenting terror and final beauty. (p. 6) Salinger has employed neurotic deterioration, symbolical death, spiritual awake... summary from source:

[Can] a decade be labeled with the name of one writer? During the 1950s, Jerome David Salinger published his single novel to date, The Catcher in the Rye, and eight rather long stories—all but one of them connected at least thematically with the saga of a family named Glass…. This small body of work enjoyed a popularity unparalleled during the decade. (p. 23) Salinger's significant writing was almost entirely confined to the 50s. (p. 24)

Critical Essay by Arthur Heiserman and James E. Miller, Jr.
1,468 words, approx. 5 pages
It is clear that J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye belongs to an ancient and honorable narrative tradition, perhaps the most profound in western fiction. The tradition is the central pattern of the epic and has been enriched by every tongue; for not only is it in itself exciting but also it provides the artist a framework upon which he may hang almost any fabric of events and characters. It is, of course, the tradition of the Quest. (p. 129)
