Book 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.
