Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr

What more can be said about Holden Caulfield, the teenage protagonist of Salinger's iconic 50s novel? Buoyed by contributions from Sophie, Gavin, Miriam and Tea, Books & Chocolate, Brenna  and Joe weave through the trauma, the misogyny, the homophobia, the class and the privilege of one of literature's most famous - and frustrating - teenage male protagonists.With discussions on: a childhood lost, boarding schools, repetition, sexual assault and rape, 1950s crisis of masculinity and "The Man in the Flannel Suit." Plus: an exciting (and slightly daunting) challenged book recommendation courtesy of German listener Laura: Charlotte Roche's Wetlands  (2008).References:S.
