Franny and Zooey came from Catherine K.’s video “life is for reading.”, the same one that gave me Jung’s Dreams. She says Franny has an existential crisis, her brother Zooey tries to help her, and his answer is that you have to be kind.
True genius level is when you can write something so simple with so much meaning.
Like Dreams, I picked this up as part of my reading on existentialism.
