Abstract
Abstract:News in the first half of 2018 confirmed the continued relevance of Steinbeck's life and work to events in California, New York, and Oklahoma and to developments in music, medicine, photography, theater, film, politics, and marine science—fields which occupied Steinbeck's attention and imagination in The Grapes of Wrath, written eighty years ago; A Russian Journal, published seventy years ago; and touchstone texts including Sea of Cortez, Cannery Row, East of Eden, The Winter of Our Discontent, and Travels with Charley. Quotations from newspaper reports and interviews demonstrate the geographical and cultural range of Steinbeck's influence as a writer and—with Ed Ricketts and Robert Capa—as a collaborator in underappreciated books that outlasted their critics.
