A compelling piece of information discovered by scholars over the years about American author J.D. Salinger is that, Hermann Melville, Ernest Hemingway, William Shakespeare, among other renowned writers, were instrumental in shaping his craft. This paper suggests that German author Friedrich Nietzsche also informed Salinger’s writings, and that Holden Caulfield of Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye strikingly substantiates key doctrines of the prophet Zarathustra from Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
