Steinbeck: A Life in Letters


<p>"Surely his most interesting, plausibly his most memorable, and . . . arguably his best book" —The New York Times Book Review</p> <p>For John Steinbeck, who hated the telephone, letter-writing was a preparation for work and a natural way for him to communicate his thoughts on people he liked and hated; on marriage, women, and children; on the condition of the world; and on his progress in learning his craft. Opening with letters written during Steinbeck's early years in California, and closing with a 1968 note written in Sag Herbor, New York, <b>Steinbeck: A Life in Letters</b> reveals the inner thoughts and rough character of this American author as nothing else has and as nothing else ever will.</p> <p>"The reader will discover as much about the making of a writer and the creative process, as he will about Steinbeck. And that's a lot." —<b>Los Angeles Herald-Examiner</b></p> <p> "A rewarding book of enduring interest, this becomes a major part of the Steinbeck canon." —<b>The Wall Street Journal</b></p>
