I'm not sure, exactly, who the intended audience for this book is; nevertheless, I suspect that it is included in numerous college syllabi for courses in film criticism and various "soshe" classes around American politics and social activism. That the editor, Robert E. Morsberger, contributed numerous articles to and, I believe, edits the Steinbeck Review lends weight to this suspicion; not to mention the included critical essay by the man that occurs between the original screen play and the actual screen play.
Tigures.
One thing this book is GREAT for is the appendix which includes the entire oevre of Steinbecks filmic career. It is highly informative and will send the most eager of us on to other works by this American Classic.
John Steinbeck (1902-1968), winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, achieved popular success in 1935 when he published Tortilla Flat. He went on to write more than twenty-five novels, including The Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men.
