About the author

John Ernst Steinbeck was an American writer. He won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humor and keen social perception". He has been called "a giant of American letters."
During his writing career, he authored 33 books, with one book coauthored alongside Edward F. Ricketts, including 16 novels, six non-fiction books, and two collections of short stories. He is widely known for the comic novels Tortilla Flat (1935) and Cannery Row (1945), the multi-generation epic East of Eden (1952), and the novellas The Red Pony (1933) and Of Mice and Men (1937). The Pulitzer Prize–winning The Grapes of Wrath (1939) is considered Steinbeck's masterpiece and part of the American literary canon. By the 75th anniversary of its publishing date, it had sold 14 million copies.
Most of Steinbeck's work is set in central California, particularly in the Salinas Valley and the California Coast Ranges region. His works frequently explored the themes of fate and injustice, especially as applied to downtrodden or everyman protagonists.

Reviews

[Becky · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you haven't read "The Grapes of Wrath" put it on your list to read. It's a classic must read. It'll have you calling your family, your fambly, ha! Cannery Row is good, too, but I guess I need to add East of Eden to my list.

I really just wanted to add east of eden, but the other two are good, also. East of Eden was the book that made me an English major, and I read it again from time to time. One of my all-time favorites.

Hope we don't have to experience any of the hard times that was happening during the last depression.

Entertaining, depressing and inspiring all at once.

An amazing classic and very real in its description and depiction of the time and migrants driving west. Highly recommend it!
