Franny and Zooey

<p><b>In honour of the centennial of the birth of J. D. Salinger in 1919, Penguin reissues all four of his books in beautiful commemorative hardback editions - with artwork and text based on the very first Salinger editions published in the 1950s and 1960s.</b><br> <br> '<i>Franny</i> came out in the New Yorker in 1955, and was swiftly followed, in 1957, by <i>Zooey</i>. Both stories are early, critical entries in a narrative series I'm doing about a family of settlers in twentieth-century New York, the Glasses. I love working on these Glass stories, I've been waiting for them most of my life.' - J. D. Salinger<br> <br> A novel in two halves, <i>Franny and Zooey</i> 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.</p>
