Page "Glass family" Paragraph 8

* Zachary Martin " Zooey " Glass ( born 1929 ): Title character of Zooey, in which he is 25 years old.

He is an actor, and ( according to himself ) the most attractive of all the children.

Zooey also says that he and Buddy were " too clever " for their own good.

Boo Boo describes Zooey as " the blue-eyed Jewish-Irish Mohican scout who died in your arms at the roulette table at Monte Carlo.

" He is portrayed as being rather arrogant and particularly insensitive to his mother, Bessie, frequently swearing at her and calling her " fatty.

" He is misanthropic, which he attributes to Seymour and Buddy's imposition of their college-age infatuation with Eastern mysticism on him and Franny as children.
