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. It is a long-term project, patently an ambitious one, and there is a real-enough danger, I suppose, that sooner or later I'll bog down, perhaps disappear entirely, in my own methods, locutions, and mannerisms.

    <![CDATA[The author writes: Franny came out in The New Yorker&lt;/EM&lt; Zooey. 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. It is a long-term project, patently an ambitious one, and there is a real-enough danger, I suppose, that sooner or later I'll bog down, perhaps disappear entirely, in my own methods, locutions, and mannerisms. On the whole, though, I'm very hopeful. I love working on these Glass stories, I've been waiting for them most of my life, and I think I have fairly decent, monomaniacal plans to finish them with due care and all-available skill.]]>

    <![CDATA[The author writes: Franny came out in The New Yorker&lt;/EM&lt; Zooey. 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. It is a long-term project, patently an ambitious one, and there is a real-enough danger, I suppose, that sooner or later I'll bog down, perhaps disappear entirely, in my own methods, locutions, and mannerisms. On the whole, though, I'm very hopeful. I love working on these Glass stories, I've been waiting for them most of my life, and I think I have fairly decent, monomaniacal plans to finish them with due care and all-available skill.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[For a while I claimed to like Franny and Zooey better than Catcher in the Rye. I might still. It's hard to say. This is a great dialogue between a brother and sister about what purpose and happiness mean. There are different theories about why Franny has a nervous breakdown... maybe she's pregnant. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45448202">more...</a>]]></body>
