Salinger. In the first part Franny meets her boyfriend Lane for a football weekend at his college. During their first lunch together, Franny begins to have a nervous breakdown. After Franny's breakdown, Zooey, her brother, jumps into action. Over the course of a long, tense, and complicated discussion, Zooey helps Franny sort out her spiritual, intellectual, family, and personal contradictions, allowing her, by the end, to find peace.
