520    "Today's foremost Steinbeck scholar writes an extended 
       meditation on the influence of The Grapes of Wrath, to 
       commemorate the 75th anniversary of its first publication 
       In this compelling biography of a book, Susan Shillinglaw 
       delves into John Steinbeck's classic to explore the 
       cultural, social, political, scientific, and creative 
       impact of The Grapes of Wrath upon first publication, as 
       well as its enduring legacy. First published in April 1939,
       Steinbeck's National Book Award-winning epic of the Great 
       Depression chronicles the Dust Bowl migration of the 1930s
       and the story of one Oklahoma farm family, the Joads, 
       driven from their homestead and forced to travel west to 
       the promised land of California. The story of their 
       struggle remains eerily relevant in today's America and 
       stands as a portrait of the conflict between the powerful 
       and the powerless, "in the souls of the people.""--
