This book aims to both describe and analyze the way Steinbeck
learned the writing craft. It begins with his immersion in the
short story, some years after he stopped attending Stanford
University. Aside from a weak first novel, his professional writing
career began with the publication in 1932 of The Pastures of
Heaven, stories set in the Salinas Valley and dedicated to his
parents. From that book he wrote truly commanding stories such as
The Red Pony. Intermixed with Steinbeck's journalism about
California's labor difficulties, his writing skill led to his 1930
masterpieces, Of Mice and Men, In Dubious Battle, and The Grapes of
Wrath. The latter novel, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
in 1940, led eventually to his being awarded the Nobel Prize for
Literature in 1962. He continued producing such wide-ranging works
as The Pearl, East of Eden, The Winter of Our Discontent, and
Travels with Charley up to just a few months before his death in
1968.
