Steinbeck writes wonderful prose, but reading this felt like molasses. Maybe it was the numerous descriptions of the same piece of land. Still some amazing passages that make it at least worth a read.

Hard to believe I haven’t read Steinbeck in over 30
years . he is able to capture the plight of humans so well. Men who need their symbols are the most dangerous of all aren’t they ?
