paulgreer 's review for:
The Grapes of Wrath
by John Steinbeck
"I want to put a tag of shame on the greedy bastards who are responsible for this."
- John Steinbeck, 1936
I just finished reading The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. I have always known of this book but never read it or even knew very much about what is was about.
I really wasn't prepared by how relevant it was to so many situations occurring globally at the moment. The mass migration of populations due to climate changes, infrastructure collapse and economics, the refusal of a system to help and indeed the full demonisation of those in transit.
The language is beautifully simple and yet says so much about strength, sadness, suffering, perseverance and dignity.
