The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger chapter 13 - Audiobook
Ойын-сауық
The Catcher in the Rye, by J. D. Salinger, narrated by Isaac Birchall
In this chapter, feeling like a coward, Holden walks the whole 41 blocks from Ernie’s to the hotel. En route, he thinks about his gloves, which were stolen at Pencey. He imagines an altercation with the thief, but states that he is a coward at heart, and is afraid of confrontation. When he reaches the hotel, he takes the elevator to his floor. The elevator operator offers to send him a prostitute for $5, and Holden, feeling depressed agrees. While waiting in his room, he thinks again about his cowardice, and laments that it is his lack of aggression that has left him a virgin. The Prostitute, Sunny arrives, a cynical young girl with a high voice. Holden becomes flustered and even more so when she takes her clothes off. She sits on his lap and tries to seduce him, but he is extremely nervous, and lies to her claiming that he cannot have sex because he is recovering from an operation. Finally, he tries to pay her for her time and she claims that it is $10. Holden refuses to pay more, and she storms off out of the room.

Your voice is fine. No worries. He does say some interesting things. Almost creepy things. But in many ways, I do see that he is an adolescent. I was thinking earlier about this. I wondered if I read this book at his age, how would I feel about Holden?

Coming from a 16-year-old myself who is also reading this book, I feel as if he is extremely characteristic of the normal teenager. While yes, he does exhibit narcissism with some sociopathic tendencies, he still acts his age with a bit of trauma sprinkled on top. Not only has Holden had very little attention from his parents growing up, but coupled with his psychological instability as a result of Allie’s death, has crippled him to a social “ball,” so to speak, prior to the start of the novel. He was not only deprived of his mental well-being but also of his childhood, probably accounting for his disdain and internal fear of growing up. I’m only up to chapter 17, but so far, Holden has grown quite a bit since the start of the novel and the rest will probably delineate his acceptance and process of transitioning into adulthood.
