    Episode 71 - The Catcher in the Rye

    Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. This season, we are only looking at banned and controversial texts. In our seventy-first episode, we look at a controversial text of teenage rebellion and grief-trauma that has attracted a LOT of weird loners over the years: J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye (1951). In this episode, Daniel takes a big L over David Copperfield, we have Buckfast at Tiffany's, spend a long time discussing Howard Hughes's design of the perfect bra, and realise that this should have been our Christmas episode. Cover art © Catherine Wu. Episode Theme: Larry Wagner, 'Autopsy on Schubert' (1937). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
