Summary/Abstract: This article outlines the concept of brotherly love in Jerome David Salinger’sThe Catcher in the Rye, one of the most censored novels in the United States. Although primarily the book presents such issues as alienation, seclusion, and rebellion against theartificiality of the world of adults, what is particularly worth pointing out is the importanceof the relationship between Holden, the main protagonist, and his younger siblings:his sister Phoebe and his brother Allie. Although love is not explicitly expressed in thenovel, it is apparent in Holden’s attitude to his siblings and in his memories and descriptionsof Phoebe and Allie.
