![]() ![]() The swearing felt unnatural to me in a way I don't recall thinking the swearing in Catcher in the Rye came off, possibly because it was Holden thinking or saying all the swear words in Catcher but the people around Franny who used a rougher mode of speech when she was the one going to pieces. ![]() ![]() The first was that it's definitely a product of its time, with long-winded, philosophical dialogue and a bit too much superfluous swearing. There were two particular things I got out of the reading of Franny and Zooey. Pale and tearful, she spends her time alternately crying and sleeping on the couch while her mother tries to feed her chicken soup and her brother attempts to talk her into understanding the source of her distress in order to knock her back to her senses. In the second part of the book, Franny is home after suffering the nervous breakdown during dinner with her boyfriend. ![]() In the first section, Franny's boyfriend comes for a visit but during dinner Franny slowly goes to pieces and by the end of supper she has collapsed. Now that I'm back to challenging myself to read a classic read per month, I'm happy to be diving back into those particular shelves.įranny and Zooey contains two sections: one from Franny's point-of-view and one from Zooey's, Zooey being a nickname for Zachary. Franny and Zooey is one of those secondhand classics that I spent years collecting (seriously, you should see my classics shelves they're great) which then spent years collecting dust. ![]()
