Franny and Zooey - J.D. Salinger 1961 - Little, Boston - First Edition A fine first edition of Salinger’s third book. Two stories about the Glass family, which originally appeared in the New Yorker, following on from ‘Raise High the Roof Beam’ [1959].   ‘I am one of those . . for whom Salinger’s work dawned as something of a revelation. I expect that further revelations are to come. The Glass saga, as he has sketched it out, potentially contains great fiction, the willingness to risk excess on behalf of one’s obsessions, is what distinguishes artists from entertainers, and what makes some artists adventurers on behalf of as all.’—Books of the Century, The New York Times review September, 1961.
