Somerset Maugham Emily Dickinson Ring Lardner > .
 * Real name was Baroness Karen Blixen and the story that is included in Catcher in the Rye is Out of Africa.
 * Holden says that he got the book by mistake, but “it’s a pretty good book” (Salinger, 18) which shows that he doesn't have much interest or guidance.
 * In the novel, the author acts as a protector to those around her which is probably the reason why Holden likes it because he directly relates in the fact that he wants to take care of the people he cares about like Phoebe and Allie.
 * During the book the author visits Africa and helps the citizens living in [|poverty] and describes [[image:http://vacationcoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Paradise.jpg width="281" height="118" align="right"]]Africa as a sort of hidden paradise. Holden relates because he is poor in spirit and that which he lacks is protection and happiness.
 * This could also be what Holden longs for, a paradise with no phonies, a perfect world.
