John Steinbeck born on this day
Why Famous: Steinbeck's work sought to detail the rural working class in America and their economic and social conditions.
His most famous work "The Grapes of Wrath", published in 1939, followed a family of Oklahoma tenant farmers escaping the dust bowl for California and won the Pulitzer prize in 1940.
His other works included "Of Mice and Men" (1937) and "East of Eden" (1952). Many of his works were filmed in his own lifetime, with James Dean making his starring debut in "East of Eden".
One of my all time favorite books."The Grapes of Wrath"
Such a great story ... loved the movie.View attachment 152216
