Abstract

While J. D. Salinger’s “Franny” (1955) has been explored from several perspectives, both as a single work and as part of the so-called Glass family saga, very little attention has been paid to the significance of its setting. The story takes place in a restaurant, a place that, as we shall see, has a strong relation to the identities of its two principal characters.
