The Grapes of Wrath
by John Steinbeck, Robert DeMott
“Staggeringly beautiful. Having seen '39 John Ford film I thought I pretty much knew what it was. Terribly wrong - the poetry of "enduring" lingers long after.”

“This book is a masterpiece. When I read it, I did not know how Steinbeck could complete it in any way that was true to the book but didn't make me want to go out and commit suicide. He did it though, conveying so much by the single act of Rose of Sharon that it just blew me away.
One funny story about it. A friend was studying in Paris and had to read this book, which is called Les Raisins en colere in French. A girl from Brooklyn who was in the class, and who had a heavy New Yawhk accent, kept asking why they were reading a book about the angry raisins.
If you liked this book, you might like The Cellist of Sarajevo. Also in a class by itself.”

“The Joads (and many others) endured with a grim determination unheard of today. It does help to view the film with the performances of Henry Fonda and Jane Darwell in particular. They lend a visual authenticity to Steinbeck's lyrical prose. All in all, a most memorable experience.”
