Come si pronuncia il nome del noto scrittore appena scomparso?
Con la G di "gender" o con la G di "get"?

All generalizations are false, including this one.
    -- Mark Twain

 
G di "gender." O J di "Joey" :)
SAL-in-jr.

 SAL-in-jr.
Alla radio invece hanno detto che si deve dire con l'altra G,
quella di "get".
Forse perchï¿œ ï¿œ un cognome di tipo tedesco?
(Lo stesso dilemma di quando girava il nome di un certo
Kissinger...)
Boh. Io preferisco la G molle, come dici tu.
Non ho mai letto "The Catcher in the Rye" ("il giovane Holden"),
ho perso qualche cosa?
Il titolo significa qualche cosa in particolare?
Invece recentemente ho letto "Malcolm" di James Purdy.

The title has nothing whatsoever to do with the game of baseball, and the 
phrase is not idiomatic. Holden, the hero of the book,  imagines children 
playing a game in a field of rye near a cliff, and it is his role to protect 
the children by catching anyone who comes too near to the edge. Such a job, 
he says, would make him truly happy.
This is the only place I know of where the phrase has ever been used.

 Fa riferimento al gioco del baseball.
Not correct. It's Holden Caulfield's misunderstanding of the line of Robert 
Burns's poem "Comin' Thro' the Rye" where he mistakes "kiss a body" for 
"catch a body."
There are various interpretations of the meaning with regard to Holden's 
perception of himself as the catcher in the rye, one who saves people from 
themselves, from danger.
Coming Through The Rye.
Chorus. 
O Jenny is all wet, poor body,
Jenny is seldom dry:
She draggled all her petticoats,
Coming through the rye!
Coming through the rye, poor body,
Coming through the rye,
She draggled all her petticoats,
Coming through the rye!
Should a body meet a body
Coming through the rye,
Should a body kiss a body,
Need a body cry?
Should a body meet a body
Coming through the glen,
Should a body kiss a body,
Need the world know?
Should a body meet a body
Coming through the grain,
Should a body kiss a body,
The thing is a body's own.

 No.
Io ricordo che il traduttore nella versione italiana parlava di 
baseball, riguardo al titolo. Poi che avesse ragione, � un altro discorso.
Ciao,

"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this 
big field of rye and all.  Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - 
nobody big, I mean - except me.  And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy 
cliff.  What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go 
over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're 
going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them.  That's all I do all 
day.  I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all.  I know it's crazy, but 
that's the only thing I'd really like to be."
~J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 22, spoken by the character 
Holden Caulfield
What does this have to do with baseball?
How is your "Meglio giovent�" experiment going?
I was reminded of this the other night when I heard that Etta James, whose 
1961 hit song "At Last" is featured prominently in the film, is suffering 
from Alzheimer's disease.

Nota dell'editore dell'edizione italiana:
Catcher ï¿œ chiamato uno dei giocatori della squadra di baseball, il 
"prenditore", cioï¿œ colui che, munito di guantone...
Il titolo The Catcher in the Rye, letto come puro accostamento di 
parole, suomna come potrebbe suonare da noi il terzino nella grappa.
