Two wonderful stories about members of the Glass family by the author of ‘The Catcher in the Rye’.

Description

A sharp and poignant snapshot of the crises of youth – from the acclaimed author of The Catcher in the Rye

‘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.’

First published in the New Yorker as two sequential stories, ‘Franny’ and ‘Zooey’ offer a dual portrait of the two youngest members of J. D. Salinger’s fictional Glass family.
