In this episode of The Saillant Edge, Antonio Saillant examines one of the most unsettling cultural coincidences in modern American history: why The Catcher in the Rye keeps appearing in the hands of men who attempted to change history through violence.

Sparked by Apple TV+’s powerful documentary John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial, Antonio takes a careful, factual look at the cases of Mark David Chapman, who murdered John Lennon, and John Hinckley Jr., who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan just three months later — both carrying the same book.
