Steinbeckian Realism

JOHN STEINBECK is an author who has unique qualities.  He stirs up interest because his characters are so real...they cavort around having regular people's lives.  Thus, they engage our brains.  His works like 'Of Mice and Men,' 'Cannery Row' and 'Sweet Thursday' draw us into the Steinbeck web so skillfully.  The realism factor is the fact that Steinbeck has a biting passion and he makes a lot of sense.
