The first line of J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye is this:
"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth."
When J.D. Salinger in "Catcher in the Rye" says "and all that David Copperfield kid of crap," I now what that means because David Copperfield was illusions such as what Great Expectations is.
