I like the Sept 17, l961 NYT review of F&Z by Mr. John Updike because he
makes an excellent point about the book's two frannys. I recently
interviewed Mr. Updike and liked him very much for a number of reasons,
not the least of which is that he mentioned Mr. Salinger's influence on
his own work and seemed to have a great deal of respect for the emotional
territory Mr. Salinger explored and opened in his work...Mr. Updike and I
disagreed about Hapworth and he invited me to send him a leter to conintue
the discussion...but to get back to critical sources for F&Z, I also
recommend Warren French (_Salinger Revisited_) and Eberhard Alsen
(__Salinger Glass Stories as A Composite Novel_) as critics well owrth
reading if yoiu are are going to write about F&Z, will
