Franny Glass and Lane Coutell are the perfect campus couple: beautiful intelligent their
whole lives ahead of them. But one weekend when Franny is visiting amid the excitement of the
big Yale game something goes wrong and tensions begin to surface. Are they really such a
perfect match after all? Franny's older brother is Zooey. They come from a sophisticated yet
highly eccentric family: all seven Glass siblings are former child stars all strange and
enchanting and damaged in their own way. And when Franny's anxiety spirals into a full-blown
breakdown Zooey is the only one who might be able to save her. A novel in two intertwining
stories Franny and Zooey 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 the most beloved American novelists of the twentieth century.
