<b>"Perhaps the best book by the foremost stylist of his generation" (<i>New York Times</i>), J. D. Salinger's <i>Franny and Zooey</i> collects two works of fiction about the Glass family originally published in <i>The New Yorker.</i></b><b><i><br></i></b><b><i><br></i></b><i>"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."</i><br><br>A novel in two halves, <i>Franny and Zooey </i>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.
