"Franny and Zooey is one of the few books that I've returned to every year...I love it for its comedy--Salinger's dialogue is wonderful--for its mocking fondness, and as a portrait of a troubled, loving family. I still treasure it and I don't think I've read anything since that has affected me and inspired me as much, both as a reader and a writer."
—David Nicholls, The Guardian
“My favorite book of all time”
—Jodie Foster
"There are passages and phrases in Salinger that will stay with me forever; he is one of those rare writers whose work can actually be called ‘life-changing’.”
