I just finished reading The Catcher in the Rye and it was easy to have sympathy for Holden Caulfield. I'm glad I re-read it because I hadn't remembered a blessed thing about it since I read it 30 years ago. I rather likee the fellow and I think he will turn out just right as he grows and matures. Salinger was able to capture many possible ways of thinking of a teen that must still speak to the young generation today. I certainly suggest refreshing your memory with this quick and compelling read.
Now I will continue on with With Christ in Prison by George Anderson, S.J. He's a good writer. I worked with George in NYC.
I am a Jesuit priest of the USA East Province who has an avocation of binding art and creativity to spirituality. I have a SoWa (South End) studio in Boston and I give retreats and spiritual direction using creative techniques to make a person's Ignatian prayer particular and unique. Ignatian Spirituality is the cornerstone of my work; art, poetry, prose is a way to help us get to the heart of conversations in prayer.
