This does not detract from its complexity: it remains a well-crafted, increasingly relevant work, worthy of the praise, criticism, and controversies that continue to surround it. By documenting the harsh realities of the era, the novel calls to mind, however, those UN Country Reports that describe and denounce avoidable landscapes of poverty, hunger, homelessness, and dispossession against a framework of human rights law and policy. The novel’s prescient warnings encompass not only the humanitarian crises brought about by climate change and unethical commercial practices, but also the ongoing global atrocities (wars, corrupt regimes, ethnic cleansing, and displacement of populations) that still serve to spark and underpin refugee existence and a chronic disregard for human dignity. As such, it requires the reader to judge those responsible and to evaluate the failings of the various global and domestic systems that enable and perpetuate such rights violations. The final scene, rich with symbolism, arguably, serves almost as quasi-courtroom: readers must serve as jurors rather than silent witnesses, if only to apportion blame for all that has gone before (or indeed continues to happen, almost a century later).","PeriodicalId":40417,"journal":{"name":"Steinbeck Review","volume":"18 1","pages":"162 - 181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70893791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thrown together by shared circumstances, these dispossessed people bond during the journey, creating a community of people who might otherwise not have interacted. As a timeless national epic, The Grapes of Wrath calls attention to the exploitation and disenfranchisement of agricultural workers, migrants, and refugees past and present. Recognizing that the national focus of power and privilege was concentrated in urban areas, Steinbeck mobilized readers’ imaginations to think beyond urban manufacturing or trade toward the world of agriculture. Steinbeck’s choice of the term “refugees” in portraying the people affected most deeply by the Depression is deliberate and significant. Examining the plight of the Dust Bowl refugees in light of The Grapes of Wrath provides a tool for eliciting greater empathy for the plight of today’s migrants and refugees as they seek to gain membership in the local community—to find a home and a homeland.","PeriodicalId":40417,"journal":{"name":"Steinbeck Review","volume":"18 1","pages":"117 - 135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45362511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Johnson","doi":"10.5325/steinbeckreview.18.2.0149","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5325/steinbeckreview.18.2.0149","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Since the publication of Bill Steigerwald’s Dogging Steinbeck, some commentators have exclaimed outrage at the discovered fictional embellishments in Travels with Charley. Steigerwald concludes that Steinbeck’s trans-American vagabonding was a literary fraud. Others have defended the work’s persisting merit, acknowledging the artistic license which Steinbeck invokes. A byproduct of the debate is the new challenge of determining a fitting genre for the text. This essay proposes that Travels is best understood as a picaresque novel. Specifically, Steinbeck creates an American picaresque that embraces the elision of fact and fiction, providing social commentary through the eyes of a wandering adventurer. In order to situate the book within the genre, the essay discusses Travels in relation to Royall Tyler’s The Algerine Captive, perhaps the first American picaresque novel. While both texts align with the foundational elements of the genre, they maintain a distinctively American element, an optimistic call for national unity along with a conception of a shared identity. By understanding Travels within the American picaresque tradition, scholars can circumvent the largely inconsequential arguments about degrees of factuality, allowing the rich cultural commentary to occupy the forefront of interpretation.","PeriodicalId":40417,"journal":{"name":"Steinbeck Review","volume":"18 1","pages":"149 - 161"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44600798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
