Many thanks for that - I've just snagged a copy. So much for my (arrogant) belief that I had a full picture of Steinbeck.


It kinda doesn't feel like a Steinbeck book, really, but it's not a bad read, for what it is.

(someone DV'd my original post, at some point, and I'm not sure if this is why [maybe it was for some other reason entirely] but I intended my use of the term "propaganda" in a descriptive, neutral sense—that's what it is, and what it was intended to be)
