Steinbeck's early writings express his abiding concerns for community, social justice, & the elemental connection between nature & human society. In prose that blends the vernacular & the incantatory, the local & the mythic, these 5 works chart Steinbeck's evolution into one of the greatest & most enduring popular of American novelists. "The Pastures of Heaven" (1932), a collection of interrelated stories, delineates the troubled inner lives & sometimes disastrous fates of families living in a seemingly tranquil California valley. The surface realism of Steinbeck's first mature work is enriched by hints of uncanny forces at work beneath. "Deep down it's mine, right to the center of the world," says Salinas Valley farmer Joseph Wayne about his land in John Steinbeck's "To a God Unknown" (1933). A sense of primeval magic dominates the novel as the farmer reverts to pagan nature worship & begins a tortuous journey toward catastrophe & ultimate understanding. Steinbeck's sympathetic depiction of the raffish "paisons" of "Tortilla Flat" (1935), a ramshackle district above Monterey, first won him popular attention. The Flat's tenderhearted, resourceful, mildly corrupt, over-optimistic characters are a triumph of life-affirming humor. "In Dubious Battle" (1936) plunges into the political struggle of the 1930s & paints a vigorous fresco of a migrant fruit-pickers' strike. Anticipating the collective portraiture of "The Grapes of Wrath", Steinbeck poignantly traces the surges and shifts of group behavior. W/ "Of Mice & Men" (1937), Steinbeck secured his status as one of the most influential American writers. Lennie & George, itinerant farmhands held together in the face of deprivation only by the frailest of dreams, have long since passed into American mythology. This novel, which Steinbeck called "such a simple little thing," is now recognized as a masterpiece of concentrated emotional power.
