Expert Solution
Step 1: Explaining the book

'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger is a classic work of literature that portrays themes of sense of self, alienation, and adolescent distress. The 1951 publication of Salinger's book portrays the story of Holden Caulfield, a jaded adolescent dismissed from his prep school. The struggles and desperation of the post-World War II era are succinctly portrayed by Salinger through Holden's first-person narrative. 'The Catcher in the Rye' was an instant classic and is still an integral part of American literature because of its intense and precise depiction of teenage revolt and the search for authenticity.
