Professor Amy Hungerford lectures on Salinger’s Franny and Zooey, reminding her students that storytelling is a verbal art we all too often confine to silent reading. “[Salinger] thinks so highly of that capacity of literature to embody the human voice,” she explains, “that he imagines a whole religious world around it.” ~ Yale Lectures
