Review:

John Steinbeck knew and understood America and Americans better than any other writer of the twentieth century. (The Dallas Morning News) A man whose work was equal to the vast social themes that drove him. (Don DeLillo)"

Synopsis:

In these stories, Steinbeck charts the gradual disintegration of a peaceful farming community in a lush California valley. He writes of a family made to feel "poor" through the charity of a neighbour and the wanton destruction of a retarded boy's tenuous hold on reality.
