At one point, Holden Caulfield was the paradigmatic teenager, but now his star has fallen as kids munch on antidepressants and try to be absorbed by, rather than rebel against, the growing ranks of other-directed kids in the lonely crowd. Which is why he would probably get along with another unloved character, Draco Malfoy. If Holden and Draco were friends, however, Draco probably would have already failed out of Hogwarts and ended up somewhere in the bowels of London, smoking cigarette after cigarette and drinking out of of a pocket flask as they discussed their stupid classmates and even more ignorant parents. Phonies! The lot of ‘em.
It’s your dream come true, J.
Oh my god, suburban rich kids hyped up on medication and ADD/ADHD (study-drugs) don’t have shit on Holden Caulfied.
I feel like Draco would abuse Holden… and when he fought back… Draco wouldn’t really be his friend anymore..
I beg your unbelievable pardon.
This reminds me of one of my best friends from high school and makes me wish I had the money to go visit her. Le sigh…
It’s your dream come true, J.
