D. Salinger as a leading voice in American literature—and that has instilled in millions of readers around the world a lifelong love of books."If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth."The hero-narrator of The Catcher in the Rye is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caulfield. 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, grappling with feelings of loneliness, grief, and alienation. His search for something genuine in a world that feels insincere and superficial remains urgent and unmistakably modern.In Holden's comic, cutting, and painfully sincere voice, readers discover a comradeship and understanding as they recognize the ache of being lost, and the impulse toward rebellion that comes with the passage into adulthood. The Catcher in the Rye resonates deeply and personally for every new reader. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/4e902040-75fd-11f1-b452-0f2e0e513fce-rimg-w563-h740-dc7a4844-gmir.jpg Matt Salinger’s 25-year acting career included starring roles on and off Broadway, in regional theater, in feature films, and on television.  More recently, he has produced theater on both coasts, and internationally, and he has produced or executive produced nearly a dozen Independent films, and one documentary. The project he’s proudest of is The Syringa Tree, a play which he discovered in an acting class in Los Angeles in 1996, then developed and nurtured for ten years (together with playwright and actress Pamela Gien and director Larry Moss), with productions across the country, across Canada, and around the world.  The Syringa Tree’s New York run lasted almost two years and won the 2001 Obie award for Best Play of the Year. Based largely on Tom Stoppard’s passionate recommendation, the Royal National Theatre brought the production to London, where it played to sold out houses.  Since his father J.D. Salinger’s death in 2010 Matt has dedicated his time to better protecting and administering his father’s Intellectual Property.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/4ecd5050-75fd-11f1-b452-0f2e0e513fce-rimg-w1031-h740-dc151417-gmir.jpg Anika Jade Levy is a writer from Colorado.

Our founder Benjamin Bass was all of twenty-five years old when he began his modest used bookstore and sought to create a place where books would be loved, and book lovers could congregate. Ninety years and a move over to Broadway, the Strand is still run by the Bass Family and is home to four floors of over 2.5 million used, new, and rare books, a wide array of bookish gifts, and fun literary events held almost every night of the week. From the dollar carts outside to the Rare Book Room on the third floor, and cheeky graffiti-ing throughout the store courtesy of Steve “EPSO” Powers, the iconic store now stands testament a place for book lovers to explore." } ] } ] ```
