The Grapes of Wrath
John Steinbeck
This Pulitzer Prize-winning novel is a powerful and intimate portrayal of the Great Depression era, following one Oklahoma family's journey west in search of a better life. The struggles of the Joads are a raw and emotional portrayal of the division between the haves and have-nots in America, and the fight for equality and justice. An American classic that captures the human dignity and stoical strength of one woman, and the fierce reaction of one man to injustice. This edition includes an introduction and notes by a Steinbeck scholar.

I read many American novels, and recall especially John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, in which I found many similarities between the plight of the migrant workers in that novel and our own laborers and farm-workers. – source2020-08-20T19:12:02.000Z
@edalexport @TianaTheFirst Read it a few times over the years. Possibly my favorite book.
That was exactly what I was likening California’s current bureaucracy to —Steinbeck wouldn’t in a million years be a Trump supporter and probably not even a Republican today, but he did always hate gov’t bureaucracy – source
