For your sake, I sincerely hope you don't think like this while also blindly parroting the ridiculous theory that Steinbeck was simply writing "Jewish communist propaganda".
>There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And the children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill the certificates - died of malnutrition - because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. And in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

why does /lit/ ignore him?

people who are verbally abusive, angry, argumentative who want to destroy and enslave you. I'm unfortunately a family member of a person who can be described like this. he's a deeply frustrated individual. what do?

So is Steinbeck actually good or am I just brainwashed by the American education system? I haven’t actually read any of his work beyond Of Mice and Men, but I noticed that the only people I have ever heard plug his books are really stupid. Is this just coincidence or is Steinbeck not very good?

The Logs of the Sea of Cortez. Not even fictional, Steinbeck spent a year or so doing marine research with "The Doc".

Tortilla Flat, Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday, kind of a trilogy. A whole zoo of lunatics, hobos and misfits doing their thing.

>Tortilla Flat
Dat chicken coop scene. Also don't forget the other two books, Cannery Row and Sweet Thursday. It's kind of an unofficial trilogy.

Wtf I hate women now

Why did Steinbeck contradict himself after a life spent speaking out against "the state" and became a hawk for the Vietnam War?

why did he love alfalfa so much

True Neutral

Why does lit hate this guy so much? I thought East of Eden was a great book.
