  7. John Steinbeck won the Nobel Prize for literature on this day in 1962.

    If you are teaching with his novel The Grapes of Wrath, bring it into the present by combining it with documentary film Greener Pastures, which explores the lives of four contemporary Midwestern farming families. It's a great insight into how much has changed and how much hasn't.

  8. THE GRAPES OF WRATH
    Treehouse
    1987 Canada pressing

    One of the most criminally underrated bands ever for last spin of the night.

    A great Canadian #80s #alternative band who wrote really good songs, this is their second album, and my second favorite of theirs.

    Their first album, September Bowl Of Green, continues to elude me, and it’s the only full-length of theirs I don’t have.

    Personslly, the real gem for me here is “A Very Special Day”, but it’s only one of a bunch of great, sophisticated power pop songs here.

    Stellar album.

    On this day in 1968, John Steinbeck died.

    🇬🇧 “Ever’body’s askin’ that. ‘What we comin’ to?’ Seems to me we don’t never come to nothin’. Always on the way. Always goin' and goin'.”

    🇪🇸 «Todo el mundo se pregunta eso. ¿A dónde vamos a llegar? A mí me parece que nunca llegamos a ninguna parte. Siempre estamos en camino, siempre yendo».

  12. Souder references this passage from chapter 28 of The Grapes of Wrath:

    “Git so I hate to think. Go diggin’ back to a ol’ time to keep from thinkin’. Seems like our life’s over an’ done.’’

  13. John Steinbeck Biographer, William Souder on The Grapes of Wrath [1939] “So begins Steinbeck’s greatest novel—in a drought. It would end in a flood. These are forces of nature, and what happens in between—during one migrant family’s arduous journey to California—is the oldest human story: the struggle to survive and hold together. #bookstodon #steinbeck #thegrapesofwrath #1930s #immigration

  14. #TheGrapesOfWrath#JohnSteinbeck

    [...]while his novels are dark and not particularly optimistic, Steinbeck always portrays some redeeming characters and/or deeds, which allow you to see the good in some people. The Grapes of Wrath tells the story of the Great Depression, and contains some of the best descriptions I have ever read of how screwed up the capitalist system is. Many of the situations described in the #book speak about the relationship between the powerful and the powerless[...]

  15. Amused to note on book supplier's website that while most authors simply have forename and surname listed, Steinbeck is listed as "Mr John Steinbeck" 😁 Loving the addition of "Mr"
