Best known for \u003ci\u003eThe Catcher in the Rye\u003c\/i\u003e, which continues to be read and discussed by secondary school students, undergraduates, and scholars, Salinger also wrote numerous shorter works. This reference covers his entire oeuvre. Since Salinger's life figures prominently in his works, an introductory essay considers autobiographical elements in his writings and foregrounds the chapters that follow. Subsequent chapters examine each of his major works, or a collection of related writings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncluded are discussions of such topics as, critical reception, themes, narrative structure and point of view, characterization and style, settings and symbols, and interpretations of his texts. Chapters close with lists of works for further reading, and the volume concludes with several appendices and extensive primary and secondary bibliographies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eberhard Alsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313310785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313310782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 5.80w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Reference Bks Annual\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2003 pg. 486","brand":"Eberhard Alsen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46311012598015,"sku":"9780313310782","price":96.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80f80baa-7145-4821-82f1-2ccfb90311a4.jpg?v=1730887858","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-readers-guide-to-j-eberhard-alsen-9780313310782","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
