![]() The very short novel Franny and Zooey by J. Truly thought provoking, timeless and fresh at the same time, and really made me a) want to read more Salinger and b) want to re-read this tale which may end up as five stars in the end. If you go into reading it as if it were a play, I think your appreciation for it will be greater. ![]() The book is all about their relationship, but it touches upon a lot of fascinating philosophical subjects such as religion, ego, the meaning of life, etc. The story really is a dialogue by and large between Franny and Zooey. He's sarcastic, cynical, blunt and somewhat hostile. Zooey is probably the last person you would think would have any insights that would help Franny. ![]() Like many, she has gone home to her family and turned to religion to help cope with her depression. Franny, a college student, is struggling with the meaning of life and is depressed. Franny and Zooey are sister and brother from the large Glass family. This book is the type of book that as soon as I closed it, I wanted to pick it back up and start it over again. I went into this book thinking it was about lesbian women. ![]()
