Book synopsis

Adolescence is a transitional period as a child §grows into an adult. In literature, this §transitional stage is accompanied by a reflection of §life and an exploration of the meaning of human §existence. Three American novels written during the §1940s--J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, §Carson McCullers's The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, and §Truman Capote's Other Voices, Other Rooms--examine §the conflicts of adolscents as they attempt to §relate to peers, family, schools, and society. All §of the three novels are relective of problems and §issues confronting adolescents influenced under a §variety of backgrounds. The more salient themes, §however, are specific to the adolescent's mental and §psychological problems. And such themes are revealed §from the teenagers' relationships with others.
