In Six Degrees of Separation, a play written in 1989 and famed for its cinematic translation of 1993, John Guare put into the mouth of Paul, the scammer that connects the lives of its characters, a memorable reflection on The Catcher in the Rye strung through most lunatic readers: namely, from an anonymous teacher who ended up committing suicide from by Mark David Chapman, the murderer of John Lennon (another fan of the book, by the way), to the assassin John Hinkley. For Guare / Paul the great message is Death of Imagination, represented in a time when the imagination is an act of tourism and surprise rather than an introspective look. The character says that all tracks are and the great feeling that the book conveys the paralysis
system exemplifies how well Holden Caulfield, his rebellious protagonist who embarks on a journey downhill. The inability to see and understand the Other. Starting with oneself.
Jerome David Salinger was born in 1919 and Caulfield, his most iconic, and appeared to star in a story published in the New Yorker in 1941. Its overwhelming success Salinger became the figure of someone becoming increasingly elusive, which reached its peak in 1963 following the publication of his latest book (two nouvelles together) that took him into silence, only interrupted by an interview (short and sullen and ) in 1971.
Many things can be discussed in the literature,
starting with the same Catcher in the Rye.: Its chronic psychological block of Caulfield is evidently lower than the side of The Tin Drum Günter Grass, much more complete and gives relevance to factors specific to the highly sophisticated psychological delusion of its protagonist, creating an unreliable narrator, but also a series of echoes that leak from the verbal repetitions (and echoes) to the distribution of images. Salinger hit full in the voice of its narrator, not with the latter's capacity to suggest their bad grades deep. Proof of this virtue is that Caulfield clear to the reader that his story will have nothing to do with David Copperfield ("And All That Crap") and so on Salinger narrator begins a kind of current and vulgar lie when we touch, "that continue most successful and sophisticated writers of his generation like John Cheever, Saul Bellow and John Updike, all paid to his impact. But since then, the realistic narrator, preferably teen or child, paralyzed is common in literary works, from the pain of Safran Foer Extremely Loud and Incredibly close to the narrator marking Haruki Murakami Norwegian Wood, Kafka on the shore or South of the Border, West of the Sun through the Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog at midnight. Therefore, his most striking is the more experimental and chaotic: the Glass family that appears in their stories and their nouvelles and the reader is in charge of rebuilding their own way. The image, unforgettable, idyllic front of the beach hotels that broke with the brutal and sudden suicide of Seymour Glass in excellent A Perfect Day for Banana plez were only the beginning of a family by the extreme sensitivity maracas, Manhattan and strangers spiritual discoveries absolutely life-changing.
is in those works where there is more mystery and variety of narrators, including stages, in which a singular narrative and genealogical puzzle is reconstructed by a reader who attends a narrative marked by trivial details Traditionalists, at the Fitzgerald (not coincidentally The Great Gatsby is the favorite book of Holden Caulfield), in which the characters end up overflowing soul. What is undoubtedly a literary triumph whose shadow influences our musicians of today and the melancholy pop songs encrypted Belle & Sebastian, and filmmakers such as dysfunctional families Wes Anderson all defined on the basis of details and even baptized from salingerianos characters like Boo Boo Tannenbaum Glass who gave his name (and model) to The Royal Tenenbaums.
