Caught in the Rye

An author being sued by J.D. Salinger for copyright infringement is asking a judge to let his book be published.

Catcher in the Rye published by J.D. Salinger back in the early fifties has remained a defining description of the American soul–young, impetuous, wanting to save the world from falling from the precipice of a succulent field of rye. America is a unique country in the world, a little world made from all the peoples of the world living together in the melting pot of opportunity.

Having witnessed his Jewish father being investigated by the FBI for counterfeit holes in his swiss cheese, JD became the vehicle by which to disseminate both the goodness and the fragility of this nation with a wry sense of humor. The villain in Catching in the Rye was repeatedly referred to throughout the book by the phrase “God D-mn.” Catcher in the Rye is now ironically banned in many schools because of the use of this term–a clear violation of the Commandment not to use God’s Name in vain.

The Jewish People, the People of the Book, are not so unlike Holden Caufield; the dilemma in which the Jewish People find themselves has been brought on by those same God D-mners who have been trying to destroy the world and throw the little children over the cliff.

The Cabala explains how the power of the book derives from the most inner part of the soul where letters fit together indistinguishable one from the another.
