Like the last "Metamorphosis", this time the white teenager in front of him used a foreign language, but Zhuang Yan could still understand it.

Zhuang Yan, the author of "The Catcher in the Rye", vaguely remembers that his name is Salinger, but he does not know his full name, because the author of this book is not a particularly famous writer in the first place.

This book also seems to be the only novel he has ever published, so many people may have heard of The Catcher in the Rye, but most of them don't know who the author is.

This book made a deep impression on Zhuang Yan, of course, not only because of the influence and fame of this book in the United States, but also because of the special way this book is written, the combination of "flow of life" and "stream of consciousness", the language is vivid and interesting, although the things written often seem trivial, but it can still make people look into it at once.

Of course, "funny" doesn't just mean funny, it's more that there is a lot of slang in it, and the main character Holden's description is interspersed with a lot of words like "fuck".

Of course, this is also in line with Holden's character, as a child of a middle-class family, Holden has a good family background since he was a child, but like most teenagers, he has a rebellious heart.

He is anxious, sensitive, curious, wants to vent, and is easy to be impulsive, these adolescent psychology makes him unwilling to read, not to be motivated, and even to pursue excitement, to smoke, drink, fight, flirt and even find ** to play.

He thinks that his teachers and parents want him to study and be motivated, nothing more than telling him to "get ahead" and make more money so that he can buy a fuck bastard Cadillac in the future.

Zhuang Yan and Holden walked side by side, sixteen-year-old boys with peaked caps on their heads. He is half a head higher than Zhuang Yan, and he is indeed very tall.

The two of them walked down the path in the middle of the wheat field, and Holden kept telling his story, and before he could say a word, a "fuck" came out of his mouth.

Zhuang Yan remembered that Holden's last story was told when he was recuperating in a mental hospital, but at this time it was replaced by a wheat field, and Zhuang Yan didn't know if he remembered it wrongly or said that it had changed in his dream.

Holden was still talking, and Zhuang Yan also withdrew his other thoughts and listened slowly.

In an instant, Aclair burst in again, and opened the curtain of the shower door as usual. In my bastard's life, I'm glad to see him once......"

He stayed until dinner, talking about all the people in Pansy he hated, and squeezing a big pimple on his cheeks. He didn't even need a handkerchief. I don't even think this bastard has a handkerchief, I told you when I came. At least, I've never seen him use a handkerchief—"

Aklay was Holden's classmate, taller than Holden, with a pimple on his face, and he hated everyone at the school, and Holden didn't like him very much, otherwise Holden wouldn't have said "I was happy to see him for the first time in my life".

Holden in front of him stopped when he said this, Zhuang Yan looked into his eyes, still waiting for his next step.

But in the next second, the white boy in front of him disappeared out of thin air, Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, and grabbed a handful with his hand where he disappeared, but he didn't catch anything except a handful of air.

Then, the wheat field in which Zhuang Yan was located also slowly began to collapse from a distance, as if a huge wave had rushed from somewhere, and the golden wheat slowly shattered under the lapping of this huge wave.

It didn't take long for the giant wave to shoot Zhuang Yan's side, and then also slapped him into pieces.

Zhuang Yan woke up from his dream.

He sat on the bed and let out a long breath, although he knew that it was a dream, but the scene just now still made him have a false alarm.

Half-sitting on the bed, Zhuang Yan began to recall what Holden said in his mind, and found that just like the previous times, every word of his life seemed to be imprinted in his mind.

didn't rush to write, after getting up and washing, Chen Jiaqing had already made breakfast outside, and left a note.

The note said that she had something to do during the day today, and hoped that Zhuang Yan could help her take care of Xiaoying at home.

And Xiaoying also woke up early in the morning, got up and washed herself, and then obediently went to the small restaurant to have breakfast.

Zhuang Yan told her about the note left by her mother, and Xiaoying didn't seem to react, but said with a smile: "Uncle Zhuang Yan, you said yesterday that you would tell me a story during the day today." ”

"Of course Uncle remembers, but I have to wait a while, because Uncle still has some things to do in the morning, and when Uncle is done, I will tell you a story, how about it?" Zhuang Yan said.

"Then Uncle must finish his work quickly. ”

Zhuang Yan nodded in agreement, and after eating, he simply washed the dishes, and then let Xiaoying sit on the sofa and watch TV, while he ran to the study to code words.

Sorting out the storyline in my mind, the time span of this "Catcher in the Rye" is very short, and Holden told Zhuang Yan for so long last night, in fact, it was only half a day.

And the whole story is more than the number of words in "Alive", but the story told only happened in three days.

The book was written in the fifties of the twentieth century, and the social background is the United States after World War II. At that time, the United States could be said to be in full swing, and its economy was developing extremely rapidly.

After all, it was the war that made money, material production developed rapidly, the standard of living rose rapidly, and the number of the middle class also greatly increased.

However, although the material level has risen rapidly, the spiritual life of the broad masses of the people has become more and more scarce.

In the vulgar and hypocritical world, people have no glorious ideals, and the people have not even discovered themselves, they have been squeezed by society, and they have slowly begun to be alienated and become inhuman images.

In this book, it seems that only children are human beings in the world, and adults have long been changed by the world, losing their innocence, and wearing hypocritical masks one by one to hide their dirty hearts.

Therefore, the people in this book are only children, and adults are actually non-human.

In a way, this book is somewhat similar to "The Metamorphosis", and it also tells how a deformed society alienates people.

And although the protagonist of this book is a rebellious teenager, his heart is pure, he scolds "fuck" in his mouth, but when he sees swear words written on the wall, he still turns around and leaves.

Therefore, some people think that the protagonist of the book Horton actually represents those who rebel against reality in a negative way.

Because of his inability to do nothing about reality, he can only treat it negatively, and he also wants to explore and pursue ideals, so he yearns for Eastern philosophy, and wants to be a "catcher in the wheat field" when he grows up, guarding those children.
