"Steinbeck's journey is both physical and spiritual as he seeks to reconnect with the country he feels he has lost touch with." Wow...I bet a lot of us feel that way right about now. I remember reading Peter Jenkins "A Walk Across America" during a time I felt thoroughly disillusioned with my life and felt a deep-seated fear of strangers. Reading his book really helped me become more open to people and see them as those who wanted the same things I did...to be loved by friends and family and to do good in the world. This book of Steinbeck's may be just the ticket for a time such as this.

Thank you Matthew. This makes me appreciate Steinbeck, and you, all the more.
