If you like Steinbeck...

A great collection of inter-related short stories...if you like Steinbeck, you will love this book. I read the print version many years ago, and I enjoyed the audio version greatly. Steinbeck loved people, and he presents here some touching, engaging stories of common folks. This book is similar to his The Long Valley.

Great narrator, excellent listen

I loved how quickly the storyline morphed into one another, it really kept me engaged. The narrator was amazing. I'm going to do a quick search for his name to find more books read by him! This is an excellent listen.

Loved it!

While some of the language is dated, the core themes and concepts are still relevant today. I appreciate that each character, no matter how big or small, comes alive with conflicting convictions and circumstances. Steinbeck is so clever at holding opposing ideas in creative tension.

Such depth into human existence

Many times I have burst out laughing at the incredible lines and descriptions of people. For example, the line…” he did not see people as individuals, but as antidotes for the poison of his loneliness” is so incredible! In my entire life. I could never summon such a line. Yet, there are dozens like it. I am very unread, but I don’t suspect I’ll ever encounter an author, quite like Steinbeck.

Deeply Excellent Loosely Coupled Shorts

These short stories are lightly couple by their connection to a beautiful valley in Monterey California. I was entranced, moved and entertained by these wonderful short stories. I love short stories and love Steinbeck so perhaps this combination was destined to please me greatly. These stories merge the ordinary with the magical, the commonplace with the extraordinary, and the straightforward with the intricate These are among the best short stories available on Audible.

Steinbeck Undecided

The stories are different from what you expect. You think you know where it's going and how it will end then it twists like a mobile strip and ends up somewhere unexpected. This is my third Steinbeck book and I haven't decided yet whether I like him or not.

Raw, Heartbreakingly Honest, Simple Yet Profound

More beautiful writing by Steinbeck. I loved these vignettes that wove into a living history of time and place. "Painterly" came to mind.
