The Catcher In The Rye, is a novel by J.D. Salinger published in 1951. The novel details two days in the life of 16-year-old Holden Caulfield after he has been expelled from prep school. Confused and disillusioned, Holden searches for truth and rails against the “phoniness” of the adult world. He ends up exhausted and emotionally unstable. The events are related after the fact.

A well-known theory about The Catcher In The Rye is that it is a trigger for sleeper assassins trained by the CIA’s MK-Ultra mind control program to take out individuals. This applies most strongly to John Lennon’s murder. The claim is that the book is the trigger used to wake trained sleeper assassins to something they learn while under mind control.

What makes this all a bit more interesting and sinister is the fact that Salinger checked himself in to a mental hospital shortly after he returned from being a soldier in World War 2. While there, he completed the novel and some think that it is Salinger's attempt at dealing with his PTSD.
