Brian St. Pierre Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

The appellation "California writer" fits John Steinbeck more perfectly than perhaps any other literary figure associated with the Golden State. Steinbeck was born and grew to manhood in California and called the state home for almost forty years. More importantly, all of Steinbeck's significant works were about California or Californians, or have a highly pertinent California setting or background. Author Brian St. Pierre, prodded by a lifelong fascination with Steinbeck, has retraced the footsteps of the "California writer" through The Long Valley, Pastures of Heaven, and Cannery Row seeking an understanding of Steinbeck's literary inspiration. This work clarifies the controversial writer's identity and debunks some of the misconceptions and myths, more than a few of which originated with or were promulgated by Steinbeck himself.Also available in this series:Mark Twain in CaliforniaRobert Louis Stevenson in California
