Annotation The author writes: FRANNY came out in The New Yorker in 1955, and was swiftly followed, in 1957 by ZOOEY. Both stories are early, critical entries in a narrative series I'm doing about a family of settlers in twentieth-century New York, the Glasses. It is a long-term project, patently an ambiguous one, and there is a real-enough danger, I suppose that sooner or later I'll bog down, perhaps disappear entirely, in my own methods, locutions, and mannerisms. On the whole, though, I'm very hopeful. I love working on these Glass stories, I've been waiting for them most of my life, and I think I have fairly decent, monomaniacal plans to finish them with due care and all-available skill.

The Nile Staff Review In my opinion, Franny and Zooey is a much superior read than J.D. Salinger's (author) much more famous title - Catcher in the Rye. The book is made up of two stories; the first introduces us to Franny Glass, a college student who rejects her boyfriend and lifestyle and goes into a nervous breakdown. The second reveals much more about the Glass family and their uber intelligence. There isn't much of a storyline, but the dialogue is wonderful. I'll be very surprised if you try it and don't like it. Mark @ The Nile Read the rest of Mark's reviews here. |
