Readings on the Grapes of Wrath (Greenhaven Press Literary Companion to American Authors)
John Steinbeck’s portrayal of the Joad family chronicles the harsh realities experienced by migrant farmers during the Great Depression. Authors in this anthology recount the germination and creation of the novel, analyze the book’s characters and themes. (20020501)

Customer Review: Interesting and useful
I am doing researh on John Steinbeck with a special focus on the thirties novels. This book offers some interesting interpretations and criticism. Presented as a series of articles, the insights in this book are easily accesible. The book is geared toward high schoolers, but the analysis is fairly sophisticated.

This book is useful also because two points of view are offered–both praise and criticism are present here, and the book offers a balance of thought for the reader. Of particular interest were Slade’s essay Biblical Imagery in TGOW, Gladstein’s Steinbeck Speaks for all Immigrants, and Terkel’s TGOW: Fifty Years Later. This book also briefly treats the subject of censorship in America. Recommended, along with Warren French’s excellent A Companion to TGOW.

A Companion to Grapes of Wrath
Customer Review: Superb!
If you enjoyed The Grapes of Wrath, you will enjoy this companion.

Even though the author is a professor from a university in Kansas, and even though he has filled this book with facts, it’s easily readable in a sort of journalistic style.

The Grapes of Wratch is discussed in themed chapters that need not be read sequentially. They include: the novel as literature, reaction to the novel in California, in Oklahoma, war-torn Europe, and throughout the USA; the author’s dedication to the plight of the Okies that preceded and followed The Grapes of Wrath, local, state & federal government reaction, the movie, Hollywood’s reaction to the movie, natural history of Dust Bowl from perspective of geologic time (did you know, the Dust Bowl was NOT caused by overfarming: there’s a geologic record that the Dust Bowl phenomenon is a regular occurance. Conservation-minded farming methods can lessen its impact, but cannot prevent a Dust Bowl).

A caution: if you haven’t already read The Grapes of Wrath, this book may be difficult to follow.
