First UK edition of this enduring portrait of adolescent angst. Divisive since it was published (when James Stern famously mocked CATCHER in his NEW YORK TIMES review by writing in the voice of Holden Caufield), Salinger's novel of a teen's adventures and alienations in New York City remains equally beloved and denounced. One of the most widely banned books ever published, it has been both scapegoated as a template for deranged gunman (like Mark David Chapman) and praised as a "perfect book" (Adam Gopnik). These tensions continue to drive its popularity and importance, and CATCHER regularly appears on the lists of the best novels of the 20th century. This first UK edition includes Fritz Wegner's evocative illustrated jacket design. 7.25'' x 4.75''. Original full blue cloth.

Boards slightly bowed, some touches of foxing and shelf soil to edges. Else sound and bright overall. Very good plus in very good plus jacket.…
