Description: First English edition of this classic work by the Nobel Prize-winning author. Octavo, original cloth. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco and chemise clamshell box. John Steinbeck's picaresque novel, set against the backdrop of the sardine canneries, vacant lots, flophouses and honky-tonks of Monterey, California, "was as complex as [Steinbeck] was. In a way it was a summation of all his conflicts and contradictions, and all that he had learned. It was Steinbeck-funny and deadly serious all at the same time, sentimental and coldly deterministic, loving and satirical, lyrical and yet very precise⦠Nowhere else in his work is his poetry so well controlled, and nowhere else does he cut quite so deep" (Benson, 554-5).
