Why does Holden admire Edgar?

Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye," does not express admiration for Edgar Allan Poe in the novel. In fact, he doesn't even mention Poe's name.

It's possible you're thinking of another character or another work of literature. Could you please clarify your question?

For example, are you perhaps thinking of:

* A different character: Holden does admire certain figures like his deceased brother Allie, and he also seems to have a soft spot for his former teacher Mr. Antolini.

* A different novel: There are other novels with characters who might admire Poe, such as "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe himself.

Please provide more context so I can give you a more accurate answer.
