Franny and Zooey comprises a short story and a novella by J. D. Salinger, published together as a book in 1961; the short story and the novella originally appeared in The New Yorker in 1955 and 1957, respectively. The short story "Franny" serves as a prologue to the events of "Zooey".Though nowhere near as popular or influential as The Catcher in the Rye, Franny and Zooey has a cult following. It has been widely suggested that The Royal Tenenbaums is a loose, unofficial adaptation of this book, due to the fact that both contain a dysfunctional, gifted family, one of which is voluntarily locked in a bathroom. propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }); In case you're wondering, yes, Zooey Deschanel is named after the "Zooey" character, despite the latter actually being male.

Big, Screwed-Up Family: The Glass family is one due to Seymour's suicide and the fact the children were precociously bright and grew up famous.

The Ghost: Father Les Glass and all five of the elder Glass children, particularly Seymour and Buddy (excepting Buddy's letter to Zooey and claimed status as narrator of "Zooey").

Author Avatar: Buddy Glass, narrator and The Ghost of "Zooey." In the later novella "Seymour: An Introduction," Buddy also claims authorship of "Franny." Some have also proposed this may extend to fellow Ghost, the deceased brother Seymour.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech

comment
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Zooey spends approximately nine pages ranting at Franny about religion and how she's going about everything the wrong way. He only breaks off when he realises she's crying her eyes out.

Broken Bird: Franny copes by becoming incredibly cynical about everything until Zooey snaps her out of it.
