There is no actual gore per-say but the main character does believe he is injured at some point in the book. (Pg.166 to be exact)

a few references to shaving. one man shaves with a rusted blade and is worried he'll "cut his head off" when a friend sneaks up behind him.

Holden's younger brother. Allie dies of leukemia three years before the start of the novel. It is parts of why he is so depressed within the story and a reoccuring theme.

Not explicitly SPOILER The last chapter of the book could be interpreted as the main character being hospitalized after a suicide attempt, but it is ambiguous.

"flit" is used by the main character to describe any man he thinks may be gay, and it is used in a derogatory manner.
