【Two Couples Affair in Broad Daylight】
Everybody know's Holden Caufield thinks you're a phony. But despite Holden's famous berating in The Two Couples Affair in Broad DaylightCatcher in the Rye, there is another J.D. Salinger story you should be reading.
This week on the MashReads Podcast, we read and discuss Franny and Zooey, J.D. Salinger's existential novel about the spiritual crisis of Franny, the youngest member in a family of geniuses, and how her closest sibling Zooey tries to get her out if it.
Join us as we discuss why Franny and Zooey is the Salinger book everybody must read.
