05.10.2009 - Interpretation of dali48  

Steinbeck wrote 1000s of letters, sometimes several a day - To Pascal Covoci, his friend, he confessed that he wanted to write the work to his sons - the story of good and evil, love and hate, to demonstrate to them how they are inseparable...

His son John wrote in his memoir that Steinbeck was too shy - to talk to any of the people in the book (Travels With Charley In Search Of America, 1962). "He couldn't handle that amount of interaction - So, the book is actually a great novel"...

Steinbeck wrote for the newspaper Newsday a series of articles, which divided his readers - The New York Post attacked him for betraying his liberal past... (J. Steinbeck, P.A.C.)

1944 Movie "Lifeboat" released - Steinbeck bought a house in Monterey but was unwelcome - no one would rent him an office for writing! - He was harassed when trying to get fuel and wood from a local wartime rations board! - Steinbeck wrote that his old friends did not want him - partly because of his works and partly because he was so successful: "This isn't my country anymore - And it won't be until I am dead - It makes me very sad" - He left Monterey the next year and moved to New York...

1956 Steinbeck wrote to an aspiring writer from Salinas: "Don't think for a moment that you will ever be forgiven for being what they call 'different' - You won't - I still have not been forgiven... (The National Steinbeck Center)

Friendship is the only cure for hatred - the only guarantee of peace... (daily Buddha)
