John Steinbeck
More than three decades after his death, John Steinbeck remains one of the nation's most beloved authors. Yet few know of his career as a journalist who covered world events from the Great Depression to Vietnam. Now, this original collection offers a portrait of the artist as citizen, deeply engaged in the world around him. In addition to the complete text of Steinbeck's last published book, America and Americans, this volume brings together for the first time more than 50 of Steinbeck's finest essays and journalistic pieces.

For those who may not know or care as much for Steinbeck, this book is still invaluable. Steinbeck understood America and its people with depth and clarity. His writing is a window into our country during the many decades he observed and wrote about it. Even more, he knew who we are and what we’re capable of. So, it’s valuable for us all to inform our role as citizens and our sense of our challenges and our potential as we move forward in the future.
I particularly think it’s worthwhile to get the wisdom of a true, classic liberal. It’s a beautiful thing that all, including today’s liberals, would benefit greatly from.
The narration is superb.
Wonderful!
