![]() Presidential assassins and would-be Presidential assassins, stalkers and murderers of film stars and music icons are among the known deranged individuals who were obsessed with Salinger’s book – a book which many claim to be an assassination trigger device. Nor do some reviewers appreciate being reminded that Catcher either directly inspired or was associated with some of the most infamous crimes of the 20th Century. Little wonder Salinger’s Catcher was nicknamed ‘the Bible of teenage angst’ and, from 1961-1982, it was the most censored book in libraries and high schools across the US. Some reviewers, it seems, don’t like the fact that we remind readers Salinger’s often-banned, often-censored bestseller was branded communist propaganda by American school principals and more than a few teachers were fired for assigning it to students. Salinger’s Mind Control Triggering Device or a Coincidental Literary Obsession of Criminals? we dissect Salinger’s 1951 classic novel The Catcher in the Rye – and not everyone’s happy about that judging by some reviewers’ comments. ![]()
