Finished *The Pearl* this morning. Loved it, and was especially smitten with his adventures in leitmotif: music of the pearl, music of the family, music of evil.

Replace the pearl with a ring and it has me thinking about Das Rheingold. Steinbeck used music a lot in *Cannery Row*, too, esp. classical references.

My first reading was ages ago. Definitely didn't remember that.

Apparently you can see the Steinbeck's personal music collection at the link, which is cool. Very eclectic! No Ring cycle in sight though. 😆

"In the town they tell the story of the great pearl--how it was found and how it was lost again."

-- First sentence of Steinbeck's *The Pearl*

Started this morning. Will probably read quite quick, but notes will go here.

The 30th novelette in the epic, " – on pretending that – ", begins today—with a scene ripped (mostly) straight from Portland history!

I had a discussion a few months ago with my brother and mother where I told them that if the Rapture were a real thing, I don't think we'd know it happened because so (relatively) few people would be taken.

Nearly every single person believes they are absolutely worthy, at least enough or close enough.

Basically no one is absolutely certain they would not be chosen.
