CATCHER IN THE RYE is about a New York City teen still adrift after the death of his brother, before "suburbia" even existed.
"Whiny suburban white kid having problems for literally no reason" is actually a description of LADY BIRD.
Why is Catcher in the Rye a red flag for me? It's not an automatic no, but I just can't relate to "whiny suburban white boy problems". Sorry not sorry. (Also, I'm not minimizing mental health issues, I'm neurodivergent myself, the book is just off puting/childish to me.)

It seems like the weird flip side about many men's attitudes about workplace sexual harassment: it doesn't happen to them, so they assume it doesn't happen at all.
Whereas "mansplaining" is a thing that does happen to women, so they assume it *only* happens to them.
