Franny and Zooey

. "Perhaps the best book by the foremost stylist of his generation" (New York Times) , J. D. Salinger's Franny and Zooey collects two works of fiction about the Glass family originally published in The New Yorker.. . "Everything everybody does is so--I don't know--not wrong, or even mean, or even stupid necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless and--sad-making. And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you're conforming just as much only in a different way.". . A novel in two halves, Franny and Zooey brilliantly captures the emotional strains and traumas of entering adulthood. It is a gleaming example of the wit, precision, and poignancy that have made J. D. Salinger one of America's most beloved writers.. .
