Steinbeck doesnt just comprise a major part of the American canon. He is the canon.
Absolutely loved this, I dont think there is another author that could write this book. Its not about the conclusion, its about the details and what happens in between. Its about the new elements that arise out of the marriage of each part of the community that refold into the community itself and create the unseen but universally understood culture.
The penultimate chapter about the gopher is an allegory for the entire premise of the novel. We dont get to pick our community, but without others heaven itself becomes its own hell.
I could read this for another 500 pages.
