The Tenenbaums have many similarities with the Glass family, the fictional family that appears in many of J.D. Salinger's short stories. For example, they are child prodigies, Richie's suicide attempt is very similar to Seymour Glass' in Raise High the Roofbeams Carpenters and Seymour: an Introduction, they are half-Jewish, half-Irish gentile, and they live in Upper Manhattan, the actual location of the Tenenbaum house. Wes Anderson has acknowledged Salinger as an influence.
