About This Item
London: Heinemann, 1962. 1st UK. hardback. Good, 1st UK edition, with unclipped d/j. Blue cloth boards clean and intact. Pages clear. Some foxing on cover and endpaper.. 8vo: crown (200 x 140 / 8"" x 5_""). 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.
Synopsis
Franny and Zooey is J. D. Salinger's third book, published as such in 1961, its two parts having originally appeared as a short story and a novella in The New Yorker in 1955 and 1957, respectively. Franny and Zooey, a sister and brother both in their 20s, are the two youngest members of the Glass family, which was a frequent focus of Salinger's writings. The action of both parts takes place over a long weekend in November 1955.
