3.0

Minus two stars for racism and sexism, and no I don't mean the portrayal of these two pernicious prejudices, but Steinbeck being racist and sexist on more than one occasion. It was well-written, and the meditations on American identity combined with the ambivalent opinions he offered was thoughful. I like it better than The Pearl but not more than Of Mice and Men.
