Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger6/20/2023 Franny belongs to the fictional Glass family, developed by Salinger through a series of short stories published in The New Yorker between 19. Although this recent book is the last straw launching Franny into her breakdown, the internal conflict leading her to that moment has its roots further back in the past. Salinger’s “Franny and Zooey” presents two short stories that examine the course of an existential crisis triggered by the teachings of a mysterious spiritual book. Since then, I’ve gotten through Kent Haruf’s “Our Souls at Night” and Brad Watson’s “Miss Jane.” This week I’m writing about J. Three weeks ago I reviewed “The Lonely City” by Olivia Laing. Over the second half of 2020, I will be attempting to read one book a week from a list the Strategist curated by asking upcoming authors to recommend books they have turned to for solace during the present pandemic.
