OVERVIEW
A modern dust jacket redesign for the acclaimed classic, "The Catcher in the Rye," capturing the isolated feeling experienced by the protagonist, Holden Caulfield, throughout the narrative. The redesign features dark and gloomy photography of New York City in the background, symbolizing the harsh adult world, with disconnected and childlike illustrations in the foreground. These elements convey Holden's sense of alienation and his struggle to maintain his innocence while confronting the realities of adulthood, as depicted in J.D. Salinger's poignant novel.
