torn about this book because on the one hand it was fascinating and all the seeds of what later makes Steinbeck so good are there. on the other hand, it’s so clearly an early novel and lacks coherence in terms of thematic unity… but i’m glad to have read it and would recommend to a Steinbeck lover (which i might be becoming??? wild)
