Abstract In 1951, J.D. Salinger published his best known novel, The Catcher in the Rye. It was an immediate success. Although never confirmed by Salinger himself, several of the events in the novel are semi-autobiographical. The novel was banned in some countries, and some U.S. scholars and parents prohibited children from reading the novel, because of its bold and offensive use of language. Nevertheless, widespread successful criticism made the novel spread so far and established Salinger’s reputation.
