J.D. Salinger - "Fanny & Zooey" (half-finished)

Only read "Fanny", couldn't finish "Zooey", which is a separate story but writes to the Fanny character.

Amazing how he can set a mood by describing how people act, react and think.

Quite explicit at times; sometimes he seems to forego the "show don't tell" completely, but on a deeper level there's so much more (which is not "shown" directly).
