I wonder if anyone's going to remake a movie of The grapes of wrath...?
It would be timely, if nothing else...

Mine too!
I've read Cannery row & loved that too. Recently re read The grapes of wrath, & hope to re read East of Eden fairly soon.

I was devoted to Steinbeck's writing when I was a teenager (a million years ago) and along with the folk singing that arose from the American civil rights movement my politics were formed and haven't changed much.

Indeed - we had a teacher at high school who introduced us to his writing as well as others, & i've read most of his books. I wonder whether they still read his books in high schools these days.
