"The Grapes of Wrath" ( John Steinbeck ) & CA

From the Paper:

"John Steinbeck's novel, The Grapes of Wrath, is arguably the most important single work in the literature of California. Other major writers have lived in California, or written about California, but Steinbeck was at once a native Californian, and a writer who chose California settings for much of his work. Whether or not The Grapes of Wrath is his greatest book is a matter for literary critics, but it is certainly his best-known work. If we were to perform a word-association test, it is probable that more people would associate Steinbeck's name with this book than with any other single work--perhaps more than would name all the rest of his work together.

The following discussion considers The Grapes of Wrath not as a work of literature, but as a work of history, specifically of California history. The Joad family is a fictional creation.."
