Thread Name: BS: John Steinbeck (1902-1968)
Subject: RE: BS: John Steinbeck
Rapaire, I loved that one--I read it when it first came out and I was an undergraduate--what an eye opener. At around the same time The French Lieutenant's Woman was also making waves. Both excellent books. A writer friend I admire tremendously told me that those two books were the ones that really shook him up, and decided him on becoming a writer. I could see why.
