Franny and Zooey
Two Glass siblings argue about faith and phoniness across a long afternoon in one apartment.
Two linked pieces about the youngest Glass siblings: Franny has a breakdown over lunch with her college boyfriend, and Zooey spends the rest of the book trying to talk her out of it from the family bathroom. It is almost entirely dialogue, deeply concerned with religion and phoniness, and it divides readers permanently into people who find the Glasses insufferable and people who feel personally addressed.

The Glass family breaks my heart. I want to be friends with them, and I feel like I am in some way.
