John Steinbeck...A Man Who Understood U.S. Culture

JOHN STEINBECK'S 1937 WORK and I met again.  Yes, I recently re-read Steinbeck's 'Of Mice and Men.'  I was amazed by his prose...his emotional dexterity in bringing to life the regular people...those who had little in the 1930s.  It is difficult to produce a literary work that has gigantic ripple effects on a country's culture. However, Steinbeck brought the 'Mice and Men; characters of George and Lenny wildly to life. This small book has a remarkable sense of style.  When you read this you discover what life is about and that is a good thing.
