Franny and Zooey

Updated: 7 Sep 2020
'Everything everybody does is so - I don't know - not wrong, or even mean, or even stupid necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless and - sad-making. And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you're conforming just as much only in a different way.'First published in the New Yorker as two sequential stories, 'Franny' and 'Zooey' offer a dual portrait of the two youngest members of J. D. Salinger's fictional Glass family.'Salinger's masterpiece' Guardian

The whole family dynamic in Franny and Zooey is fascinating. But for me, this book is all about the end, when Franny comes apart in the bedroom. The delicacy of someone that intelligent being so close to falling to pieces is intriguing to me.

Do you hope to translate any more of Salinger’s works? Murakami: I’d like to give “Nine Stories” a try, although I don’t know if I actually will or not. Other than that, I’ve been thinking on and off about a Kansai dialect translation of Franny and Zooey for a long time (laughs). To capture Zooey’s storytelling style in the Kansai dialect… (laughs). It’d never sell though.
