New Frontiers in John Steinbeck's Writing

The novels in this newest volume of collected works begin to explore new frontiers in John Steinbeck's writing, as he takes us to Europe, to Mexico, and then back home to his California. It's an unforgettable experience, one that's riddled with bizarre and interesting characters, with new possible Edenic landscapes and richly green seascapes. Steinbeck's focus is ever on the beauty and horror of human nature, what we do to each other for good or evil in the contexts of war and everyday experience.
