JD Salinger left a trail of clues in his books that, if followed properly, changes everything about how you read and interpret one of the worlds most popular novels, 'The Catcher in the Rye'. In this video, I walk you through the clues in his published and unpublished work, and explain how Salinger created a literary universe of repeated characters called the Glass family. Then, I propose a new theory about the in-universe writer of Catcher in the Rye, one that I've never seen proposed before, anywhere.
Source: I have a Salinger tattoo (no, not from Catcher in the Rye) and I've been reading Salinger since before I learned how to read.
Pls like, sub, throw any comments or questions at me and I'll respond! Thank you!
