	Franny and Zooey - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Franny is clearly under diress, questioning the importance of college education and the worth of Lane's friends.
		Seymour is another older brother of Zooey's and the eldest of his siblings.
		Zooey's ruse is discovered but they continue to talk and by the end of the call, Franny seems to take comfort in what she is told.

		Franny then tells Zooey about her religion professor, who she thinks hates her because she does not respond favorably when he is being phony and charming.
		Zooey asks if that is what she wants from the Jesus prayer--because if she is hoping to gain things from that, she is just as bad as someone who wants physical things like clothing or food.
		Zooey mentions earlier in the story that, because of their long careers on the talk-radio show for children, he and his family members tend to produce speeches for each other rather than interact.

	Anxious Days For The Glass Family
		While Franny lies sleeplessly on the living-room sofa, her mother communicates, in an interminably rendered conversation, her concern and affection to Zooey, who then, after an even longer conversation with Franny, manages to gather from the haunted atmosphere of the apartment the crucial word of consolation.
		Franny, "as if all of what little or much wisdom there is in the world were suddenly hers," smiles at the ceiling and falls asleep.
		The Franny of "Zooey," on the other hand, is Franny Glass, the youngest of the seven famous Glass children, all of whom have been in turn wondrously brilliant performers on a radio quiz program, "It's a Wise Child." Their parents, a distinctly unstandard combination of Jewish and Irish, are an old vaudeville team.

	GradeSaver: ClassicNote: About Franny and Zooey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Franny and Zooey is a major piece of J.D. Salinger's Glass family saga.
		Both the stores "Franny" and "Zooey" were originally published, as most of Salinger's stories were, in The New Yorker magazine, in 1955 and 1957, respectively.
		Franny and Zooey may be viewed as Salinger's fusion of Judeo-Christian religion and Eastern religion, and both Franny and Zooey go to great lengths to show the similarities between the different doctrines, especially in regards to incessant praying.

		Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger examines the youngest children of the Glass family.
		While the Zooey, an actor and underachiever by Glass standards prefers to face his personal problems with a stubbornness and wittiness, his younger sister, Franny is waist deep in self-pity because she feels misunderstood and alone and can not find meaning in pretentious and phony upper class college life.
		Zooey is the perfect person to give Franny the tough love and show her the new perspectives to help her through her dilemmas and that's precisely what he tries to do one morning when he finds her in a weariness-induced sleep on their family couch.

		He remembered that once, in a borrowed car, after kissing Franny for a half hour or so, he had kissed her coat lapel, as though it were a perfectly desirable, organic extension of the person herself.
		Franny saw that he was irritated, and to what extent, but, for the moment, with equal parts of self-disapproval and malice, she felt like speaking her mind.
		Franny was staring at the little blotch of sunshine with a special intensity, as if she were considering lying down in it.

	Franny and Zooey and the Unitive Mystery
		College-age Franny has slid into a breakdown of sorts, having gone irretrievably deep into reciting the Jesus Prayer, convinced that the way of the pilgrim must be hers, too.
		Zooey, full of brotherly zeal for his sister's mental well-being, puts things spiritual into perspective, using, yes, Jesus ("only the most intelligent man in the Bible") as the model.
		Zooey recalls their childhood days when they starred on the weekly radio program, "Wise Child." Seymour, their now deceased oldest brother, told Zooey to shine his shoes before each program for the Fat Lady.

		The title character is one of Franny's older brother, and it focuses on conversations between Zooey, his mother, and Franny.
		All this is a long prelude to a few words about 'Franny and Zooey' The stories ostensibly have to do with the crises of two of the younger Glass family members.
		Franny's crisis relates to her relationship with the ' section- man Lane Coutrell' whose academic pretentious values mark him out as part of the kind of ' phony world' Salinger is always condemning.

		Near the end of the story Franny faints, and at this point the significance of her summarizing the story (both to the description of her personal crisis, and as a metonymy of a more general psychological and philosophical dilemma) of one religious book she has been reading for months is realized.
		Zooey, in a manner similar to Franny, is built of quickly alternating narration and dialogue, and, again as Franny, concentrates on a very short period of one afternoon.
		The world, including Franny’s crisis, is seen through the perspective of Zooey, his special traits and outlook, and seems to reflect the old and to a wide extent still continuing crisis of his own life.

		Franny is an intellectually precocious late adolescent who tries to attain spiritual purification by obsessively reiterating the "Jesus prayer" as an antidote to the perceived superficiality and corruptness of life.
		In the second story, her next older brother, Zooey, attempts to heal Franny by pointing out that her constant repetition of the "Jesus prayer" is as self-involved and egotistical as the egotism against which she rails.
		Zooey is also extremely talented and aware of the inadequacies of the world, but he seems to be in a (slightly) better emotional phase than Franny.

	Movie Review
		Franny, the young woman, a highly sensitive person, is struggling at college and is having a spiritual crisis.
		Franny is a mixed up kid and is trying to sort it all out with the aid of a little book 'The Way of a Pilgrim', which is the real-life autobiography of an anonymous Russian beggar in the 1850's, and a spiritual classic.
		Zooey tries to explain it all to her, but as I have read Pilgrim myself I can tell you he makes a complete fist of it, he mixes it all up with Buddhism and Hinduism.

		Franny and Zooey share a common fate in that both were carefully tutored by their two oldest siblings and this instruction may have completely messed them up.
		Zooey takes place at the Manhattan home of the Glass family, where Franny has sought refuge and perhaps a safe and familiar place to have a nervous breakdown or at least gain some rest after her fainting spell.
		Once such scene follows Zooey telling his mother that both he and Franny are freaks because of the teachings they received from Seymour and Buddy-- that he can't sit down to a meal without saying the Four Great Vows-- and he asks her to leave him alone.

		Franny Glass: Franny is one of the two main characters of the novel, though she is a far more sympathetic figure than her brother, Zooey.
		He also resents the way Bessie and the others revere Buddy and Seymour for their wisdom, though he understands that they are wiser than he is. He counsels Franny on the ways of spirituality, especially of Jesus Christ, but he frequently does so in an abrasive way that alienates her.
		She loves her children dearly but is upset that she cannot understand their brilliant minds, and is wounded by the deaths of two of her sons.

	Franny And Zooey
		Franny and Zooey is among my favorite books.
		Basically, though, I suppose the book would represent some sort of idealized romantacism or innocence on her part; it's something to maybe remind her of what life was like before she caught her terrible attitude.
		Franny and Zooey is also my favorite Salinger.

	The New York Review of Books: Justice to J.D. Salinger
		Zooey is in the bathtub with a shower curtain drawn decorously around him—a red nylon shower curtain with canary yellow sharps, flats, and clefs printed on it—and the mother is sitting on the toilet seat.
		Finally, Zooey resorts to an interesting stratagem—he leaves the living room and calls Franny on a telephone extension in the apartment, first pretending he is Buddy, and then admitting he is himself.
		Salinger permits us to overhear both sides of the conversation, but to only see Franny, who has taken the telephone in her parents' bedroom, and is sitting tensely upright on one of the twin beds, smoking a cigarette, putting it out, and attempting to light another with her free hand.

	Franny and Zooey.
		Instead, as one of the quotes on Seymour and Buddy's door says, "I move not without thy knowledge." The Zooey story is one of the most important religious/philisophical works of the second half of the twentieth century.
		I go back to Franny and Zooey time and again for a gentle reminder when I've lost track of the meaning of life...so I'm saddened to read things like "average", "no meaning", "waste of time", and "phony" in these reviews.
		I'm convinced, though, that his writing style is intended to mirror the way Zooey's message to Franny is revealed..slowly and gently, so that she (and the readers) can grasp it for herself (ourselves).

		Franny is a sensitive young person who seeks spiritual enlightenment and self realization in a world of phoniness and hypocrisy.
		Beyond the subtle and beautiful story of love Salinger takes the chance to make some cutting and brilliant observations about the emptiness and the lack of spirituality that our society is build on and the great difficulties that one has to confront if he/she doesn't conform to the society's way of thinking.

	DVD Verdict: Judge Jesse Ataide's Blog
		But at times there seems to be a sense of artlessness in the way Salinger writes (which is perhaps intentional), and he has a noticeable and self-indulgent habit of plunging into lengthy lists of unnecessary details that slow down the general pace of his stories.
		At the present time I find the most fault in the long-winded repetition- as delightful as the extended exchanges between the characters of Franny and Zooey are, by the second time it happens (on the phone at the conclusion of the story), most of the initial charm has disappeared.
		For all his pessimism, Salinger seems to think that the emotional bonds formed through conversations are integral in both creating and dissecting the essence of a character, a theory (whether intended or not) I find fascinating and very, very appealing in nature.
