Meet the author

A Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, John Steinbeck is one of the most significant voices in American literature, celebrated for his profound empathy for the working class. Drawing from his own experiences as a manual laborer and his deep roots in California's Salinas Valley, Steinbeck gave an unflinching and humanizing voice to the struggles of Dust Bowl migrants. His firsthand observations of their dignity and desperation during the Great Depression directly fueled the powerful, enduring narrative of The Grapes of Wrath.
