Books: Oakies
(2 of 2)
Between chapters Author Steinbeck speaks directly to the reader in panoramic essays on the social significance of the Oakies' story. Burning tracts in themselves, they are not a successful fiction experiment. In them a "social awareness" outruns artistic skill. Steinbeck is a writer, still, of great promise. But this novel's big audience of readers will likely find in it one of the most impassioned and exciting books of the year.
