Best Answer

This is arguable. A bildungsroman is usually a story where the protagonist goes through a journey towards becoming a man. A classic example of this is Huck Finn. By the end of the novel the reader comes to the understanding the Holden is telling the story to a psychiatrist. Therefore, Holden is telling the story to you (the doctor) to provide a diagnosis for Holden. Do you see any growth to becoming a man? If yes then it can be classified as a bildungsroman.
