Abstract
Abstract:News of Steinbeck activities in the first half of 2021 was limited by COVID-19, but a reading of one history of the so-called Spanish influenza pandemic includes Steinbeck’s 1918 illness in its purview, and new books by William Souder and Gavin Jones provide a deeply sympathetic examination of Steinbeck’s life and work from a contemporary perspective.
