Still waiting for this to become the ‘great American novel’ I was promised… I read classics like it’s my job and read 4 Dostoevsky novels in one year, so either Steinbeck is a more sophisticated author than Dostoevsky and operating at a genius level beyond my understanding OR…. Steinbeck is grossly overrated. My ego puts my money on the latter.
