pk1 's review for:
The Grapes of Wrath
by John Steinbeck
I’m seeing a trend with Steinbeck and me, and we just don’t seem to get along. God almighty, how tedious. And what is with that ending? Is it supposed to be endearing and show how humans stick together? I found it disturbing. The way Steinbeck characterizes women...it’s disgraceful, honestly, and I could say the same for the mother in East of Eden. I guess Steinbeck just hates women. Yeah, yeah, “those were the times where women listened to their husbands, were seen and not heard, cooked, and cleaned, and minded the children.” I’ve read Victorian novels written by men that treat women with more dignity, respect, and agency than Steinbeck’s piss poor characterizations. Never reading another Steinbeck again.
