J.D. Salinger's powerful fiction and enigmatic persona have captivated readers for more than 50 years. His works include ""Nine Stories""; ""Raise High the Roof Beam""; ""Carpenters""; and ""Franny and Zooey"", but Salinger's literary reputation rests on his coming-of-age masterpiece, ""The Catcher in the Rye"". This collection of new essays draws a critical portrait of Salinger's work, complemented by an introductory essay by master scholar Harold Bloom.
