Just how good is Steinbeck?
I've been a massive fan of John Steinbeck since first reading "Cannery Row," the very first book that left me sad at the end because the characters - Doc, Mack and the Boys, Dora Flood and the others - were no longer a part of my life anymore.
I visited Cannery Row last year on a California road trip. We found a hotel just one street up. Hanging from every lampost in Cannery Row are quotes from the book.
We even travelled on Route 66 for a while - stopping at the Bagdad Cafe for a drink - which brings me onto The Grapes of Wrath, which I've just started to read. Just how good is Steinbeck!
