The catcher in the rye (J D Salinger)

It was one of the most censored books in the story of the United States ,due to several things:a vulgar language,sexual references,blasphemy,moral codes,and so on.(taught in public schools).This story starts at a mental institution and consequently,it immerses the reader in the profound mystery of his tragic life ...and ending.The main character ,Holden Cauldfield,tells the story in first person.He was expelled from the prep school in December of his school days.His teacher,Mr Spencer,informs him of his expulsion,Holden goes to visit him,who is very ill.He feels misunderstood by the entire society,out of context,lost,alone,specially as regards his family. There is a contrast of him in the story,that is his successful brother,that he calls "prostitute",because of his work,in which he sells himself in the city to reach what he wants.His brother is a writer ,that lives in Hollywood,and is called Jaguar ,like the car.He is a phony man.Interesting?Maybe this information is not enough to understand the story ,but it is a start.
