The first part, named for Franny Glass, one of the novel's two main characters, is a significantly shorter story than the second. It tells the tale of a female undergraduate at a prestigious women's liberal arts college, possibly Wellesley, who is becoming disenchanted with the selfishness and inauthenticity she perceives all around her. The second part, named for Zooey Glass, who is Franny's older brother (by five years), is much longer. Zooey is a somewhat emotionally toughened genius who at the age of twelve had "the same vocabulary as Mary Baker Eddy." As Franny suffers a spiritual and existential breakdown in her parents' Manhattan living room--leaving her mother, Bessie, deeply concerned--Zooey comes to her aid, offering brotherly love, understanding, and words of sage advice. --from the wikipidia 3118417 1961 Franny and Zooey total:31172|5:11272|4:11128|3:6669|2:1665|1:438| 31172 124647 37925 1723 5113 0316769029 9780316769020 28162 1460 4.00 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165517686m/5113.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5113.Franny_and_Zooey 5 21 false Sat Oct 04 19:50:42 -0700 2008 Thu Nov 06 12:10:16 -0800 2008 The Jokers Wild was a syndicated game show of the late 70s and early 80s, hosted by Jack Barry, in which contestants alternately answered lightweight trivia questions and pulled a Brobdingnag lever which operated a giant slot machine.
