Description
John Steinbeck's unhurried pacing and deceptively simple, straightforward style enhance his powerful tales of common people and their struggles as they pursue the American Dream. Steinbeck creates memorable characters, often lower-class and misfits, but his great affection and empathy pull readers into their plights, and expose society's faults so that they might be rectified. Steinbeck writes evocatively of the American landscape, especially the West, as he emphasized the close relationship between mankind and the environment. Start with: The Grapes of Wrath
