 Just adding another voice to the chorus. It just doesn't make any kind of
 sense to suppose that Franny's troubles came about because she was pregnant,
 although I believe that was the popular wisdom at the time. (I think there
was
 a story in the NYT noting that mothers kept their daughters from visiting
Yale
 boyfriends in droves just after F&Z came out.) But no -- the "Way of the
 Pilgrim" stuff, the phone call from Buddy/Zooey that brings Franny serenity
--
 it just doesn't fit in. >>
   I agree 100% .The only way I could see anyone getting that idea is if they
picked up the scent of pregnancy in the first few pages, then chose to ignore
everything that Franny says and does throughout the rest of the story.
