Holden Caulfield , the novel's narrator and protagonist, says he wants to tell the story of some "madman stuff" that happened to him around last Christmas. It's now a few months into 1950 and Holden is recuperating at an unspecified location after becoming "run-down." Holden  refuses to talk about his childhood, though he comments that his parents are "touchy as hell" and that his brother, D.B. , who visits him weekly, writes for Hollywood. Holden compares D.B.'s new job to prostitution. Holden  begins his story at Pencey Prep, an exclusive private school for boys in Agerstown, Pennsylvania, on the day that Pencey has its annual football game against arch rival Saxon Hall. Even the Pencey headmaster, Dr. Thurmer , is at the game. Holden calls him a "phony slob." Holden  isn't even supposed to be at Pencey. He was supposed to be in New York City with the fencing team, of which he was manager. But he accidentally left the team's foils (swords) on the subway and the team had to come back early. Holden finds the whole mix-up amusing. Holden  also mentions that he's failed four of his five classes—everything but English—and been expelled. So instead of going to the game, he goes to visit his history teacher, Mr. Spencer , to say goodbye.
