John Steinbeck
$45.00
Every working day from 29 January to 1 November, 1951 John Steinbeck warmed up to the work of writing East of Eden with a letter to Pascal Covici, his friend and editor at the Viking Press. It was his way, he said, of getting his 'mental arm in shape to pitch a good game'.
Steinbeck's letters were written on the left-hand pages of a notebook- the facing pages were to be filled with the text of East of Eden. They provide an illuminating perspective on Steinbeck's creative process as well as his views on many subjects- family, work, ideas, the outside world. Part autobiography, part writer's workshop, these letters reveal both Steinbeck the novelist and Steinbeck the man.
