Franny and Zooey

“Franny and Zooey” by J.D. Salinger

My rating: 4.5/5

Essentially a combination of two stories, the mistake could be made to read one and not the other.  The first, “Franny” is quite an uncomfortable presentation of what is essentially a long argument, and can seem difficult to stomach, yet when it is accompanied by “Zooey”, the story becomes a brilliant work of art.  The family dynamic is wonderfully set into perspective and an unbelievably touching situation is described with fantastic depth.  Compared to J.D Salinger’s more famous work, this is less immediate and more mature in it’s complexities, and is a story on a much smaller scale, yet it is just as memorable and inspiring. - Andrew Jolly
