The Catcher in the Rye

The “brilliant, funny, meaningful novel” (The New Yorker) that established Salinger as a leading voice in American literature — and that has instilled in millions of readers around the world a lifelong love of books.

The hero-narrator of The Catcher in the Rye is an ancient child of 16, a native New Yorker named Holden Caufield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days.

Nine Stories

The “original, first-rate, serious, and beautiful” short fiction (New York Times Book Review) that introduced Salinger to American readers in the years after World War II, including “A Perfect Day for Bananafish” and the first appearance of Salinger’s fictional Glass family.

Nine exceptional stories from one of the great literary voices of the twentieth century. Witty, urbane, and frequently affecting, Nine Stories sits alongside Salinger’s very best work — a treasure that will passed down for many generations to come.

Franny and Zooey

“Perhaps the best book by the foremost stylist of his generation,” (New York Times) Salinger’s Franny and Zooey collects two works of fiction about the Glass family originally published in The New Yorker.

A novel in two halves, Franny and Zooey brilliantly captures the emotional strains and traumas of entering adulthood. It is a gleaming example of the wit, precision, and poignancy that have made Salinger one of America’s most beloved writers.

Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour—An Introduction

The last book-length work of fiction by Salinger published in his lifetime collects two novellas about “one of the liveliest, funniest, most fully realized families in all fiction.” (New York Times)

These two novellas, set 17 years apart, are both concerned with Seymour Glass, the eldest son of Salinger’s fictional Glass family, as recalled by his closest brother, Buddy.
