My name is Melissa and I'm an instructor at Eastern Michigan University. I have been an avid reader of Salinger since 7th grade when my father threw me a copy of The Catcher in the Rye and asked me "What the hell was the problem with this book?" - My father was a Lit. teacher, and my hometown has the privilege of being one of those small rural midwestern towns that tries to ban books - The Catcher in the Rye in particular. I am currently looking for any help I can possibly get trying to secure rights to do an adaptation for the stage of Franny and Zooey. I know, forget it - but I will keep trying. I'm excited to discuss Franny and Zooey with ANYONE! I love a heated discussion!
