The second-person address also draws attention to Holden’s unreliability as a narrator. Throughout the novel, Holden tries to convince the reader to interpret events one way while simultaneously presenting evidence that the opposite interpretation is correct. For example, he frequently insists how well he knows people – “The thing is, you didn’t know Stradlater. I knew him,” or “I know old Jane like a book.” However, his interactions with Stradlater, and his reluctance to contact Jane, suggest he is neither as intimate nor comfortable with them as he’d like the reader to believe. He also makes several references to how much he hates movies, and thinks his brother D.B. is a “prostitute” for writing for them, yet he mentions going to the movies several times. In these ways, Holden’s attempts to control the reader’s impression of him end up revealing who he really is.
