John Steinbeck
Had to go to Monterey for a week last month for a conference, and bought "Cannery Row" to take along with me. How did I miss out on Steinbeck for so long? Read "Of Mice and Men" in High School, but it did not touch me the way that Mark Twain and F. Scott Fitzgerald's books did.....
Now reading "The Grapes of Wrath" - it builds slower, but wow....I was in tears on the bike at the gym at lunch....
That was only 70 years ago - within living memory - today in America we all live in a Gilded Age....
