steinbeck saying that an entire generation of people knew more about the model T ford than the clitoris. oh. ohhhh okay yeah so he would be astonished to see how today’s youth are more knowledgeable of sonic lore than pussy.

I was born in Salinas and this is crazy bc i feel so connected to this place. Maybe that’s just what Steinbeck can do, make you feel like you are embraced by a setting. But I don’t know. The Monterey bay has always felt like the little cove i crawled out of to live in this world, and I like getting to hear about it. I was too young to remember all the crabs and fishes and glassy waters that this book details.
