I have a thick book of Steinbeck and other day told myself to dig it out, particularly to reread Grapes of Wrath. Some passages have haunted me through the half century since I first read it.

Once I read Grapes of Wrath, I read everything I could get my hands on by him.

He and Thomas Hardy (oh, and Kurt Vonnegut (and Phillip K. Dick)) are, I think, the only dearly-departed ‘classic’ authors I know (thus far)… ((((Superfluous brackets))))
