Franny and Zooey is a book by American author J.D. Salinger which comprises his short story 'Franny' and novella 'Zooey'. The two works were published together as a book in 1961, but 'Franny' came out in The New Yorker in 1955, and 'Zooey' in 1957. The book revolves around the Glass family, particularly Franny and Zooey Glass, two of the youngest members of the family. These works delve into issues of existentialism, spirituality, and the quest for authenticity.
