内容简介
The author writes: FRANNY came out in The New Yorker in 1955,
and was swiftly followed, in 1957 by ZOOEY. Both stories are early,
critical entries in a narrative series I'm doing about a family of
settlers in twentieth-century New York, the Glasses. It is a
long-term project, patently an ambiguous one, and there is a
real-enough danger, I suppose that sooner or later I'll bog down,
perhaps disappear entirely, in my own methods, locutions, and
mannerisms. On the whole, though, I'm very hopeful. I love working
on these Glass stories, I've been waiting for them most of my life,
and I think I have fairly decent, monomaniacal plans to finish them
with due care and all-available skill.
