Though nowhere near as popular or influential as ''[[The Catcher in The Rye]]'', ''Franny and Zooey'' has a cult following. It has been widely suggested that ''[[The Royal Tenenbaums]]'' is a loose, unofficial adaptation of this book, due to the fact that both contain a dysfunctional, gifted family, one of which is voluntarily locked in a bathroom.
