Holden's Irony in Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye

J. D. Salinger wrote what critic Robert Bennett in his article "An Overview of The Catcher in the Rye" calls "one of the most widely read and discussed works in the American literary canon" and introduced the world to an antihero who became a cult favorite with readers.Salinger found his voice in Holden Caulfield and was subsequently and unwillingly lauded as having given a voice to a generation.
