There is always a light, comedic undertone to his writing, and he chooses topics that reflect that. He writes about things like having a fundraiser lunch for the Green Party, a Liberal bake sale he attended, and using a polling website to determine his son’s future activities and what to do about his thinning hairline. His use of humor is so broad that it’s sometimes hard to tell if the subject he’s writing about actually happened, or just played out in his head like his wife accusing him of having an affair with Beyonce after receiving a spam email from her entitled “I don’t usually email you” about Beyonce’s fundraiser for President Obama. A device that Stein uses on occasion is framing. He often begins his writing with (or has in the second paragraph) a joke that he refers to in the end of his work.

Standing on the precipice that separates the rye field of childhood from the cliff of adulthood, Holden wants to protect childhood innocence from the fall into disillusionment that necessarily accompanies adulthood. Trapped between states, with his innocence in jeopardy, Holden wants to be a “catcher in the rye,” a saviour of the innocence missing in the world around him, a world that has let him fall over the cliff into adulthood alone. Holden’s mistake about the line from the Robert Burns song—his substitution of “catch a body” for “meet a body”—is highly significant, as its placement in the novel’s title suggests. Burns’s song “Comin’ Thro’ the Rye” exists in several versions, each with somewhat different lyrics. In some versions, the song is about a woman who has gotten her clothes wet while she was out in a rye field, while in other versions the speaker of the song is a woman discussing being out in a rye field.
